Dysfunct ‘may be influenced by; bit design, bottom hole assembly (BHA) design, rig control systems, connection practices, and rotating head use. Sensors that record weight, torque, and vibration in the bit can offer insights that are not detectable further up the BHA. By understanding the root causes before the next bit run, itis possible to rapidly improve performance and prolong bit life. The formation being drilled in this study is 2 hard extremely abrasive shale, requiring 35+ runs per lateral section. The primary cause of polycrystalline diamond cutter (PDC) failure was smooth wear and thermal damage. The wear flats are attributed to abrasion and mechanical, chipping that rapidly progress to thermal damage. Higher weights were not effective and it was hypothesized that buckling was occurring, causing insufficient weight transfer and increased lateral vibration In-bit sensors that measure weight, torque, revolutions per minute (RPM), and lateral, axial and torsional vibration were run in hole to evaluate the weight transfer issues and dysfunction. High frequency downhole anc surface data were combined with forensic images of the bitand BHAto confirm the weight transfer issues. In total, thee major problems were identified and rectified curing this study: dril string buckling rate of penetration (ROP) Loss due to the use of rotating control devices (RCDs) and WOB and differential pressure (DIFP) tare inconsistencies.

Although premature motor failure were not noted in these runs, premature PDC cutter failure were High frequency in-bit Load sensing was used to identify persistent lateral vibration after a ROP loss event due to tool joints interacting with RCDs.Ateam based, continuous improvement, process was used to evaluate the root cause of downhole dysfunction and recommend bit/BHA design and operating procedure changes before the next bit was on bottom. This rapid analysis and joint recommendation process significantly prolonged bit life and improved drilling performance.
