In the water well drilling industry, roller cone bits, also known as tricone bits, are widely used for drilling through various formations. These bits consist of three rotating cones with teeth that crush and break the rock formations. The choice of roller cone bit formation depends on the type of rock or formation being drilled. Here are four common types of roller cone bit formations used in water well drilling.
Choosing the right type of roller cone bit formation depends on the specific geological conditions of the drilling site. Drillers often analyze the rock formations and select a bit that can provide optimal performance and longevity in those conditions.
