    • Incorporating the interfacial friction angle concept into the PDC single cutter and full bit modeling 

      Atashnezhad, Amin (2019-12)
      Over the past century, oil and gas served an important role in the US energy sector. The oil industry continually has worked to reduce the drilling cost by increasing drilling efficiency. Drilling is a time-consuming and ...

    • PDC cutter wear and temperature modeling 

      Bridges, Douglas (2020-05)
      Since Polycrystalline Diamond Compact (PDC) drill bits have been developed, they have made a strong introduction into the drilling industry due to their tendency to produce a higher rate of penetration (ROP) than that of ...

    • PDC drill bit modeling in hard rock 

      Sleeper, Seth (2020-05)
      The objective of thesis is to develop a detailed PDC drill bit ROP model that can be implemented in a real time drilling optimization system for hard rock application. Within the drilling industry, often times operational ...
