Effect of Size and Shape of PDC Cutter on Wear Rate in Multi Layer Formation

During a normal drilling operation, the rate of penetration (ROP) often over focused while the wear rate is less taken care of. However, wear rate is a more severe problem faced in a long run drilling operation in multi-layer formation rather than focusing solely on the ROP. The project is to invest...
