Oilfield Drilling Bit 17-1/2 " TCI Tricone Drill Bit Of API Spec

1 . Descriptions:

Steel Tooth (or Mill Tooth) tricone bits exhibit a diverse array of characteristics that cater to a wide range of downhole conditions encountered in various geological formations.

The unique design of Mill Tooth tricone bits is specifically tailored for applications in soft rock formations. Their distinctive steel teeth are adept at efficiently navigating through softer materials, ensuring optimal performance in such environments. These tricone bits feature strategically placed teeth with ample spacing between them, which effectively prevents clogging and material buildup during the cutting process. This design not only enhances the cutting efficiency but also prolongs the lifespan of the bit by reducing the risk of blockages.

Moreover, the milled tooth structure of these tricone bits offers superior durability and resilience, enabling them to withstand the abrasive nature of softer formations while maintaining consistent performance levels. The robust construction of the steel teeth ensures high wear resistance, making them well-suited for extended drilling operations in challenging geological conditions.

4 . Bearing Types

There are primarily three types of bearing designs used in tricone drilling bits:

• STANDARD OPEN BEARING ROLLER BIT:

On these bits the cones will spin freely. This type of bit has a front row of ball bearings and a back row of roller bearings.

• SEALED BEARING ROLLERS BITS

These bits have an O-Ring seal with a grease reservoir for bearing cooling. The seals acts as a barrier against mud and cuttings to protect the bearings

• JOURNAL BEARING ROLLER BITS

These bits are strictly oil/grease cooled with nose bearings, O-Ring seal and a race for maximum performance.

5. Question :

What we should be pay attention on choosing the tricone drill bit ?

• IADC code passport
• TCI & Steel tooth options
• Additional tungsten carbide inserts on heel rows
• Tungsten carbide coating on cone bodies
• Diamond coated tungsten carbide inserts on the gauge of the cones
• Tungsten carbide inserts on the shirttail of the legs
• Additional central nozzle for cleaning cones

The tricone feature is that they come with their own passport as below :

• The specification of the cones
• The quality stamp signed by the person who made and checked the bit
• The recommended drilling parameters to get the best performance out of the bit:
• Bit weight
• Rotation speed
• Flushing volume

Which type of tricone you should choose ?

It depends on the geology you are drilling in and the diameters of the borehole you are drilling. The International Association of Drilling Contractors (IADC) have developed an easy use step system to choose the right tricone for your geology with additional features such as bit protection for longer production life.

Suzhou Energy Tool Co., Ltd . (short for “ENG ” ) is a high-tech company formed by a group of drill bit experts with over 20 years of work experience in the world's top oil service companies. ENG has cooperated with many research institutes at home and has formed an advanced technological system based on market-oriented and continuously promoting technological innovation and product improvement. ENG‘S bits production lines are equipped with 5-axis machining centers, Modern lathes, and FMS (Flexible manufacturing system ) and can produce matrix body and steel body PDC bits from 3-1/4” to 26” in diameter.

ENG has been keeping on  producing high-quality products to meet the buyer diffferent requirement of different drilling well and rock fromation . The company’s QMS has been award  API, ISO 9001 certification for many years. ENG has Obtained  21 patents by Chinese government .On the products Research and Development, ENG has built the basis of 3-dimensional CAD and PDM (Product Data Management ), can technically control the whole process of product manager, so that the product development can be done in a fast and precise manner to maximally meet the time and function requirement of the market for product lifecycle management.

ENG developed different performance series PDC cutters for PDC bit to meet different drilling applications and drilling requirements of different formations. Some PDC Cutter is imported from the USA Or Europe. ENG's advantage is high product quality, short delivery time, small lot, and multi-types. The products have been exported to over 10 countries Such as the USA, Australia, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Argentina, and so on.
