PDC Water Well Drilling Bits Characteristics
Cutting tooth layout improves impact resistance
The “force balance” tooth design is adopted to ensure the stability of the drill bit when working at the bottom of the well. Through the design of 15 ° back inclination angle, the impact resistance of the composite sheet is increased by 30% while ensuring the aggressiveness, which effectively responds to the impact load of the interlayer formation.
High wear-resistant and diameter-preserving system
High-density thermally stable polycrystalline diamond and cemented carbide blocks are embedded in the gauge parts. The wear resistance of the gauge is 5 times of that of the common surfacing process, which ensures the regularity of the borehole and avoids the risk of sticking caused by diameter reduction, and is suitable for deep water well operation.
Efficient hydraulic chip removal design Continuous efficient cutting
Optimize the nozzle angle and flow path design through CFD fluid simulation, and increase the chip removal area by 20%. When drilling into clay or shale layer with large displacement, it can effectively prevent the mud from wrapping the bit and maintain continuous and efficient cutting.
The alloy steel body has good reparability.
The main body is made of 42CrMo high-strength alloy steel. After integrated heat treatment process, the hardness reaches 40-45 HRC and the yield strength exceeds 900 MPa. While maintaining high strength, it has good repair, and the drill body can be used for multiple tooth replacement and re-welding.
High strength welding process to ensure operation safety
The use of imported high silver solder with induction brazing process, welding shear strength of more than 280 MPa. Strict temperature control to prevent thermal damage of PDC composite sheet, prevent tooth drop accidents during drilling, and ensure the safety of downhole operation.
Extensive Stratigraphic Adaptability
The bit performs well in mudstone, sandstone and medium-hard limestone (compressive strength <120 MPa), which is common in water well drilling. Compared to roller cone bits, the no moving parts design eliminates the risk of bearing failure and extends the footage life of a single bit by 2 times.

PDC Water Well Drilling Bits Comparison Points
Compared to traditional water well drilling tools (such as steel teeth or drag bits),pdc water well drilling bits use the principle of shear failure instead of crushing failure. In the homogeneous formation, the cutting efficiency is higher, and the required weight on bit is only 30%-50% of the cone bit, which greatly reduces the load of the drilling rig. In addition, the one-piece design eliminates the risk of bit disintegration due to bearing seal failure.
Solve the problem of increasing cost of frequent tripping in deep well operations
For deep water well projects above 300 meters, the long life of PDC bit greatly reduces the number of trips. The problem of increased non-production time (NPT) and waste of fuel and labor costs caused by frequent bit changes is solved.
Solving the Problem of Drilling Rate Decrease Caused by Mud Packing in Sticky Soft Formation
Aiming at the common mudstone and clay layer in water well drilling, the optimized open flow channel and large water hole design, combined with high flow rate mud erosion, solved the mud bag phenomenon caused by the poor chip removal of the traditional drill bit, and kept the ROP at a high level of 20-30 m/h.
Solving the problem of excessive bit wear in abrasive sandstone formations
For the high abrasive sandstone layer, we use reinforced PDC composite sheet in the outer row of teeth, which is very hard and wear-resistant. It solves the problem that the tooth surface of the steel tooth drill bit needs to be ground and changed frequently within a few hours, and the life of a single drill bit can usually complete the drilling of the whole well.

Instructions for use PDC Water Well Drilling Bits
Check before going into the well
Carefully check whether the cutting teeth of pdc water well drilling bits are chipped, and whether the nozzle is firmly installed and free of blockage. Confirm that the drill bit thread specification matches the drill collar, and apply special thread oil to the thread to prevent galling.
Connection and fastening
Use the recommended torque values for the make-up operation. It is strictly forbidden to directly use a sledgehammer to hit the diamond composite part. Use a bit box to hold the bit to avoid damage to the gauge position.
Well bottom modeling
When the drill bit approaches the bottom hole, the lowering speed shall be slowed down and the mud pump circulation shall be started. After contacting the bottom hole, run-in the bottom hole 0.5-1 m at low weight on bit (30% of normal value) and low speed (40-60 RPM), and gradually increase to normal parameters after forming a bottom hole model matching the new bit.
Normal drilling monitoring
During the drilling process, it is necessary to pay close attention to the change of mechanical drilling speed and torque. In case of sudden torque change caused by hard interlayer, the rotating speed shall be reduced and the bit pressure shall be properly adjusted. Maintain sufficient mud displacement to ensure that the drill bit is sufficiently cooled and cleaned to prevent overheating of the composite sheet.

FAQ And Contact Us
Welcome to our Frequently Asked Questions page. We have compiled answers to common questions you may have, hoping to provide you with clear and quick solutions. If you cannot find the information you need here, please feel free to contact our customer support team.
What type of rock are this PDC water well drilling bits suitable for drilling?
It is most suitable for soft to medium hard formations such as mudstone, shale, sandstone and limestone. For highly abrasive hard rocks (such as granite, basalt) with a compressive strength of more than 150MPa, we recommend to contact us for custom-made heavy-duty matrix PDC bits.
What is the difference between steel body and carcass PDC bit?
The steel body drill bit is processed from alloy steel, with good toughness, strong impact resistance, easy repair after damage, low cost, and suitable for most water well drilling. The matrix drill bit is sintered from tungsten carbide powder, which has better erosion resistance and wear resistance, but has poor toughness and high price, and is suitable for extremely high abrasive formations.
Does your drill meet API standards?
Yes, all our pdc water well drilling bits are produced strictly according to API Spec 7-1 standard. Threaded connections (such as 2 3/8 “, 3 1/2” REG) and tolerance ranges are fully in line with international general specifications, and can be seamlessly connected with global mainstream drilling rigs.
What should I do if there is a mud bag in the use of the drill bit?
Mud bags are usually due to insufficient hydraulic energy or too sticky formation. It is recommended to increase the displacement of the mud pump and increase the nozzle outlet flow rate. If the situation continues, you can try to increase the rotation speed of the drilling tool to throw off the mud cake, or choose the special PDC drill bit designed by us for large runner mud prevention bag.
Can this drill be repaired?
Yes, our steel body PDC bit has good repairability. If only the PDC composite sheet is worn and the drill bit body is intact, the cutting teeth can be replaced by a professional tooth replacement process, and the repair cost is only 30%-40% of the new drill bit, greatly reducing the user cost.
How to choose the right nozzle size?
The choice of nozzle size depends on your mud pump flow rate and the required fluid impact force. We are usually equipped with standard size nozzles at the factory, and can be replaced with different bore nozzles with the box. You should adjust according to the actual hydraulic parameters on site to achieve the best chip removal effect.
