Abstract

ABSTRACT A high-speed drilling system has been developed which drills medium strength rocks at rates up to 1000 ft/hr (328 m/hr). This system uses special motors to operate high-pressure PDC bits at pressures up to 10,000 psi (69 MPa) and at speeds of 800 to 1000 RPM. High drilling rates were achieved due to the high rotary speeds and the use of PDC cutters to remove the rock ledges left on the hole bottom by the high-pressure jets.
