A laboratory drilling program was conducted to measure the effect of bit hydraulic horsepower on the drilling rate obtained with a polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) bit. Drilling tests were conducted under simulated downhole conditions with an 8 1/2-inch diameter PDC bit fitted with four sets of 5 equal-sized nozzles. Mancos shale, Pierre shale, and Berea sandstone were drilled with both water-base and oil-base drilling fluids to determine the interactions among bit hydraulics, rock characteristics, and the drilling fluid. For the range of drilling conditions and rocks examined, the results indicated that bit hydraulic horsepower had a significant effect on the drilling rate.
