Drag bits are commonly used in the water well drilling industry for drilling through various formations. These bits are named for the way they drill, as they grind or scrape away material rather than relying on impact or percussion. There are several types of drag bits designed for different formations. Here are some common types:
It’s important to note that the choice of drag bit depends on the specific geological conditions of the drilling site. Drillers may need to change bits as they encounter different formations during the drilling process. The goal is to use a bit that is optimized for the specific challenges posed by the rock or sediment being drilled.
