Key Features of the Hybrid Drill Bit
Dual Cutting Structures:
Combines a cone cutting structure with a PDC fixed blade cutting structure.
Leverages the advantages of both cone bits and PDC bits to enhance rock-breaking efficiency, particularly in challenging formations.
Composite Cutting Mechanism:
The cone structure pre-crushes the well bottom, forming broken tooth pits.
The PDC structure utilizes these pits to scrape and break the rock layers further, achieving a dual rock-breaking effect.
Performance Advantages:
Soft Formations: Faster drilling than cone drills.
Hard Formations: More aggressive than PDC bits.
Interbedded Formations: Greater durability, reduced stickiness, and consistent torque management for smoother drilling transitions.
Improved Efficiency:
Increases mechanical drilling speed compared to cone bits.
Requires less bit weight and reduces bit rebound, enhancing operational control.
Enhanced Stability and Directional Control:
Better vertical control and improved convolution rate in curve sections.
Strong capabilities for horizontal and directional drilling, simplifying torque management and maintaining steady drilling in various formations.
