Abstract

Two non-destructive optical methods - particle image velocimetry (PIV) and laser Doppler velocimetry (LDV), as innovative methods in drilling process efficiency studies, were applied in velocity measurements of jets coming out of drilling bit nozzles. In this paper a preliminary study of high jet velocities coming out from nozzles having circular, square, rectangular and elliptical openings is discussed. Testing facilities and results obtained both with PIV and LDV are presented. Three-dimensional nozzles tested may have their application in drilling bit design, especially in PDC bits. Moreover, employed techniques allow effective evaluation of nozzles, better understanding of the high velocity jet behaviour and may significantly contribute to the optimization of drilling hydraulics. In addition, possible other applications of PIV and LDV in domain of petroleum engineering are discussed.
