What are the common failures in the use of drills

Common Drill Failures
Bit wear: This is the most common failure of drill bits. It mainly manifests itself in the form of blunting, chipping, chipping angle, smoothing, rounding, etc. of the tooth edge.
Bit breakage: The bit may break when it is subjected to excessive shock load or torque.
Drill bit sticking: The drill bit sticks to the wall of the well, making it impossible for the drill tool to continue drilling.
Drill Bit Stuck: The drill bit is stuck in a crack or hole in the wall, preventing further drilling or lifting.
Drill Bit Deflection: The drill bit is deflected during drilling, resulting in a skewed hole.

Causes of Drill Bit Failure
Stratigraphic conditions: The hardness, abrasiveness, porosity, etc. of the stratum affects the wear rate of the drill bit.
Drilling parameters: Improper selection of drilling pressure, rotational speed, drilling cycle, etc. can lead to overloading or rapid wear of the drill bit.
Drilling fluid performance: Inappropriate parameters such as density, viscosity and solid phase content of the drilling fluid will affect the cooling and slag removal of the bit and accelerate the wear.
Combination of drilling tools: Unreasonable combination of drilling tools will increase the load of the drill bit and shorten its service life.
Operation error: Operator's operation error, such as impact drilling, frequent speed change, etc., will also lead to bit damage.

Effects of drill bit failure
Reduced drilling efficiency: Heavy wear of the drill bit reduces the drilling speed and increases the drilling cycle time.
Increase drilling costs: Frequent bit replacement increases costs.
Causing downhole accidents: Broken drill bits and stuck drill bits may lead to downhole accidents, resulting in casualties and equipment damage.

By taking the above measures, you can effectively reduce drill bit failures, improve drilling efficiency and reduce costs.
