Numerical Simulation and Field Test of a PDC Bit with Mixed Cutter Arrangement to Break Non-Homogeneous Granite

As the depth of petroleum drilling increases, the strata environment becomes more complex. The efficiency and lifespan of Polycrystalline Diamond Compact (PDC) drill bits fail to meet current drilling demands. However, the structure and arrangement of PDC cutters are valuable determinants of drillin...
