Drill Bit Plan

In this field development project, the proposed drill bits to use for Tatusan Field are two

types of roller cone . The bit selection was decided based on the type of formation that

yield a different and specific compressive strength for each formation type and zone. The

reservoir environment of Tatusan field is mostly a fluvial environment, which means that

majority of the formation lithology is based on sandstone and clay. PDC (polycrystalline

Diamond Compact) bit is considered to be used in this drilling operation because this

PDC bit is the most suitable and hydratable sediments, which are sand or shale. The

entire bit properties are tabulated below:
