Title: Laboratory Drilling Test Data of PDC bits with Sierra White Granite Rock

Dataset ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.15121/1842335· OSTI ID:1842335

This file contains unprocessed drilling data tests on Sierra White Granite (SWG) using two new PDC bits. The tests were conducted at Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) in the Hard Rock Drilling Facility (HRDF). The collected data includes ROP data at rotational speeds of 80, 120, and 160 RPMs, with incremental weight on bit (WOB) up to 5100 lbs. The diameter of the 4-bladed and 5-bladed PDC bits was 3 3/4" and supplied by National Oilwell Varco (NOV). Five tests modes were conducted for both bits, which are as follow: (1) Rigid configuration, with no vibration compliance (2) Flywheel configuration (3) Torsional compliance configuration (4) Axial Compliance configuration (5) Combined Axial and Torsional compliance configuration Note: the WOB and torque in the drilling data should be calibrated by zeroing the WOB and torque when the drill bit tags the rock sample.
