Increasing Drilling Speed in Hard-to-Drill Formations with Various Types of Tools

  • INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES OF OIL AND GAS
  • Published:
Chemistry and Technology of Fuels and Oils Aims and scope

Drilling speed-increasing tools are essential in increasing penetration rate in deep and hard-to-drill formations. This paper delves into the characteristics, application scopes, and performance advantages of commonly used tools, such as torsional impact tools, friction reduction by impact tools, positive displacement motors (PDMs), turbodrills, and Gyro Stable Drilling tools. The suitability and effectiveness of these drilling speed-increasing tools for different types of hard-to-drill lithologies are also examined. This paper serves as a reference for selecting the appropriate drilling tools in challenging drilling conditions.
