Estudio del rendimiento de las nuevas brocas PDC para la sección de 12 ¼” en la perforación de pozos del campo X.

Abstract

This document presents an analysis of the new models of drill bits used in well drilling, due to the fact that in the last years different technological innovations have been presented by the drill bit companies to be able to compete in a very demanding market in view that the demands of the environment are increasingly higher, so it is important to determine the characteristics of the drill bit that allow longer drilling strokes and increase the useful life of the same. The project is divided into five chapters which describe the development of the project, to begin with, the theoretical framework was built which covers the necessary data regarding the field of study, followed by a detailed description regarding the theory of PDC bits. Through the use of drilling reports, bit records, master logs among others, the characterization of drill bits, parameters and factors associated with the drilling of the 12 ¼" section is presented for further analysis, closing with conclusions and recommendations. The results show that the use of depth control elements (R3), STEGATM arrangement, MacheteTM cutter shape and cutter size (13 and 16 mm) provide greater durability when passing through formations of varying hardness and compressibility, without limiting the penetration rates achieved.
