What is oil well drilling bit?


Drilling bit is the major tool that located at the end of the drillstring. The bit generates the drilling action by scraping, chipping, gouging, or grinding the rock. To help the drill to conduct the cutting action drilling fluid is circulated through the bit to remove the drilled cuttings generated inside the wellbore.
