PDC bits break ground with advanced vibration mitigation
Advancements in PDC bit technology have resulted in the identification and characterization of different types of vibrational modes that historically have limited PDC bit performance. As a result, concepts have been developed that prevent the initiation of vibration and also mitigate its damaging effects once it occurs. This vibration-reducing concept ensures more efficient use of the energy available to a PDC bit performance. As a result, concepts have been developed that prevent the imitation of vibration and also mitigate its damaging effects once it occurs. This vibration-reducing concept ensures more efficient use of the energy available to a PDC bit, thereby improving its performance. This improved understanding of the complex forces affecting bit performance is driving bit customization for specific drilling programs.
