Polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) bits are used in the drilling tools. These bits are necessary tools for carrying out drilling operations primarily in the oil and gas industry, where PDC bit drills cylindrical boreholes for assembling crude oil and gas. Moreover, these bits are less expensive than roller cone bits, and hence, it lessen the total cost of drilling, owing to higher rotary speed that allows enhanced drill rates while reducing the deviation. Artificial diamond cutters are used for manufacturing of PDC bits as diamond is the hardest material due to its superior properties. Furthermore, PDC is a key component for drilling as it combines inexpensive, man-made, tiny diamonds into large masses of erratically oriented crystals.

Market Dynamics

Polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) drill bits is one of the most significant advancements in drilling tools in recent years. With high rate of penetration (ROP) potential, these bits have revolutionized the oil and gas drilling industry. These drill bits are typically made with synthetic diamond cutters in either a matrix body or a steel body material. Polycrystalline diamond compact cutter is used in the formation of diamond tables that are a part of the cutter. PDC diamond tables are hard, and possess a broad spectrum of characteristic for bit cutters. Moreover, rising performance and increasing production of shale gas  are expected fuel the global polycrystalline diamond compact cutter market growth during the forecast period. However, ecological risks and stringent government policies for hydrocarbon- based fuel sources are hindering the global polycrystalline diamond compact cutter market growth. Matrix body drill bits offer numerous advantages including longer life, high volume of fluid, and multiple runs. This  tool also offers superior structural strength along with resistance to erosion, wear and tear. Demand for matrix body PDC drill bits will increase the the need of advanced and efficient drilling technologies in near future.
