Although core bits sometimes drill faster than normal bits in the same formation
since less rock is to be destroy, the additional tripping time to retrieve the cores
makes core drilling a costly operation.
Side Wall Coring
As alternative to drilling for a core, side wall coring provides rock samples that are
smaller than common cores but in general large enough to allow geologists or
reservoir engineers to evaluate the particular formation parameters.
5.2 rill !it Classi"cation
rill bits are classi"ed by #AC $#nternational Association of rilling Contractor% to
identify similar bit types made from di&erent manufacturers.
5.2.' (oller !it Classi"cation
)he bit classi"cation in use up to '*+2 applied three digits, the new one applies four.
)he "rst three digits of the old classi"cation remained basically unchanged $although
come modi"cations and etensions were proposed in the mean time%, the additional
fourth letter provides in general information about the bit characteristics.

)he numbers , 5, 3, + and 4 designate bits with tungsten carbide inserts and also
correspond to increasing formation hardness.

5.1 rill !it Selection and 9valuation
Since a well is drilled only once and each well penetrated the formations at di&erent
locations with di&erent drilling parameters, a selection of a Ebest bitF can not be
performed. )he net best way to "nd an Eoptimum bitF is to compare bit
performances of drilling bits when they were run under similar conditions. )hen a
cost0per0foot value of each bit application can be calculated. Along with this criteria,
the individual bit wear are evaluated. )his knowledge is applied to the well that is to
be drilled $length, inclination, drillability, abrasiveness, etc. of the di&erent sections%.#n practice, when the well is planned, bits that have been used previously in this area
$by this drilling team% are evaluated according to their applicability. Sometimes whena bit manufacturer has developed a new bit he introduces it to the industry with an
