Drilling (small hole) is a cutting process that uses a drill bit to cut or enlarge a hole of circular cross‐section in solid materials. The drill bit is often a rotary cutting tool, often multipoint. The bit is pressed against the workpiece and rotated at rates from hundreds to thousands of revolutions per minute. This forces the cutting edge against the workpiece, cutting off chips from the hole as it is drilled (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drilling).

What is drilling?

Well drilling (Mining) is the process of drilling a hole (large) in the ground for the extraction of a natural resource such as ground water, brine, natural gas, or petroleum, for the injection of a fluid from surface to a subsurface reservoir (CO2) or for subsurface formations evaluation or monitoring. Drilling for the exploration of the nature of the material underground (for instance in search of metallic ore) is best described as borehole drilling, or 'drilling’. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well_drilling). Also Geothermal drilling.

Churn drill or Spudder: it can drill loose soil or hard rock and make holes 4”-12’’ in diameter over a mile in depth. The hole is advanced by raising and dropping a chisel bit. The cuttings mix with water to make mud which is bailed out at intervals (ROP 2-10 feet/h).

• 3 conical cutting elements• They can rotate on roller and ball

bearings• When the bit is rotated in service, the

cones rotate about their axes through contact with the rock being drilled

• This sets-up a twisting-tearing and chipping-crushing action.

• The teeth of the cones are hard faced to increase the resistance to abrasive wear.

• The rows of teeth on the inner end of each cone interfit with the grooves on the mating cones thus providing a self-cleaning action.

• Cone bits for sticky or soft formations have long, widely spaced teeth, while for harder formations have shorter and more closely spaced teeth.

• Rotation speeds (ω) vary from 40 – 500 rpm (more frequent 100‐350 rpm).• Speeds may be limited by the rotary power available or the capacity of the pump 

to clean out the cuttings.• Note: a harmonic vibration may occur at certain speeds which interferes with 

proper drilling and shortens the life of the drill string.

• A complete model of the drilling response of drag bits consists from the relations between the weight‐on‐bit WOB, the torque‐on‐bit T, the rate of penetration (ROP) V, and the angular velocity ω. 

• The logical step is to study first the mechanics of a single cutter and then compose the whole response model of the bit.

Cutters interaction and cutting profiles

• Forces acting on the cutter depend on rock type, cutter geometry and wear state, position on the bit, cutter interaction with neigboring cutters, cutting speed, rock stress state, and fluid environmnent (Glowka, 1989a).

• Cutting profiles obtained during two bit revolutions as the cutters pass through a radial plane containing the longitudinal axis of the bit. The shaded areas represent the cross‐sectional cut areas for each cutter. All cutters lie on the same plane normal to the longitudinal axis of the bit.

• In a simple analysis it turns out the ROP should be a linear function ofWOB (or drilling thrust) with constant ω, and linear increasing with ω for constant WOB.

• A selected ROP can be achieved with a lower WOB and by increasing ω.

• Apart of the number of cutters, placement density may be modified locally by moving cutters radially and circumferentially. 

• The radial placement of cutters is one of the most important parameters in bit design.
