Drilling & Extraction

In the demanding world of oil and gas extraction, precision, durability, and efficiency are non-negotiable. At ZYsuperhard, we deliver cutting-edge solutions designed specifically for the drilling and extraction industry. Our extensive range of superhard tools—especially our high-performance diamond grinding wheels and specialized drill bits, alongside capabilities for custom PCD/PCBN solutions—is engineered to tackle the toughest challenges in this sector. From precision grinding of PCD and carbide components to deploying durable drill bits for exploration and extraction, our products ensure exceptional longevity, reliability, and consistent results, making us a trusted partner for oil and gas professionals worldwide.

Grinding Solutions for PCD and Carbide Components

Our diamond grinding tools provide leading precision grinding solutions for critical components in the oil and gas industry, excelling in shaping and finishing processes such as precision Cylindrical Outer Diameter (OD), Centerless, and Internal Diameter (ID) grinding.

Here are a few examples:

1A1 Vitrified Bond Diamond Grinding Wheels: These wheels are meticulously crafted for the cylindrical rough machining of polycrystalline diamond compacts (PDC cutters)—key elements in drill bits used for oil and gas exploration. With a porous structure that prevents clogging and excellent self-sharpening properties, they deliver strong grinding force, high precision, and long-lasting performance.

Illustrative Result: PDC Cutter Roughing Efficiency

Using our 1A1 Vitrified Diamond Wheels for rough grinding PDC cutters typically allows manufacturers to achieve significant material removal rates while maintaining excellent geometry control. This translates directly to faster production cycles for new drill bits and more efficient refurbishment processes, reducing overall tooling costs and maximizing workshop throughput.

Centerless Grinding Wheels: Ideal for grinding carbide and PCD drill bits, our high-quality centerless grinding wheels ensure superior surface finishes and maintain the sharpness and effectiveness of drill bits over extended use. These wheels are perfect for efficiently producing high-precision wear parts and gage blocks essential to extraction drilling operations.

OD Grinding Wheels for PCD Chamfer Grinding: Our highly efficient outer diameter (OD) grinding wheels are designed for PCD chamfer grinding, offering high grind ratios that result in longer wheel life and consistent part production. This reduces downtime and boosts productivity, making them a vital asset for oil and gas operations.

Specialized Drill Bits for Diverse Applications

ZYsuperhard offers a comprehensive lineup of drill bits tailored to meet the diverse needs of the drilling and extraction industry. Each product is designed with precision and durability in mind, ensuring optimal performance in challenging geological conditions.Here are a few examples.

• PDC Non-Core Drill Bits: Engineered for superior performance in tough formations, these bits feature high-quality PDC cutters mounted on a robust steel body. Demonstrating exceptional wear resistance and possessing high impact toughness, they reliably drill through challenging strata. Widely used in coal, hydropower, and oil drilling, as well as tunnel construction and geological exploration. Sizes range from Ø65mm to Ø300mm, with customization available for specific needs.
  Illustrative Performance: Faster Drilling in Challenging Formations
  In field applications drilling through medium-hard sandstone and shale formations, ZY’s PDC Non-Core bits consistently show improved Rates of Penetration (ROP). Operators often report drilling 15-25% faster compared to conventional bit alternatives in similar conditions. Their enhanced durability also leads to longer bit runs downhole, significantly reducing the number of costly and time-consuming trips required for bit changes, contributing to lower overall drilling costs.
• PDC Coring Bits: Perfect for precise and efficient core sampling, our PDC coring bits are available in core sizes from 65mm to 219mm. Featuring top-tier PDC cutters and a steel body treated with chemical immersion and silver solder, these bits offer smoothness accurate to 0.02mm and tight connections, making them ideal for geological and engineering drilling.
• Electroplated Diamond Core Drill Bits: Designed for mining and geological exploration, these bits feature 24-layer electroplating with a coating thickness over 11mm and deep 17mm plating. With sizes ranging from 75mm to 325mm and multiple outlet designs for efficient water flow and debris removal, they excel in metallurgy, coal, and hydropower drilling.
• Hot Press Diamond Core Drill Bits: Crafted with high-quality synthetic diamonds in a durable metal bond matrix, these bits offer reliably fast drilling speeds, excellent operational stability, and extended service life for cost-effective exploration. Available in sizes from 75mm to 171mm (with custom options), they are ideal for geological, mining, and hydropower projects.
• Crowns Shape Core Drilling Bits: Featuring a distinctive crown design and an inner diameter of 108mm, these bits are engineered for engineering-geological well drilling. They ensure precision and efficiency in core sampling, delivering reliable performance in demanding conditions.
