The challenge of using fixed DOC control is finding a compromise between limiting torque fluctuation without limiting ROP. Baker Hughes, a GE company (BHGE), has developed the TerrAdapt adaptive drillbit, which can deliver improvements in drilling economics by using adaptive technology for mitigating downhole torsional dysfunction to improve drilling efficiency and to avoid costly downhole tool failures. With its self-adjusting DOC control elements, the TerrAdapt bit automatically adjusts its DOC with changing lithology and drilling conditions, mitigating stick/slip and eliminating manual parameter adjustment required at surface to manage torsional dysfunctions.
