Abstract

The use of drill bits in well drilling is very important to break and penetrate rocks. The selection of drill bits is usually done by testing drill bits from previous wells that have similar static rock mechanical parameters, but this method is time consuming and expensive because the core must be analyzed in the laboratory. As an alternative, the selection of drill bits is evaluated using logging data as an approach to calculating the Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS) value whose accuracy is improved by integrated the brittleness index through X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis and Mechanical Specific Energy (MSE) parameter to assess how efficiently drilling is performed. The obtained parameter data is then calculated for correlation using Pearson correlation. Integration of rock mechanical (UCS, BI, MSE) and mineralogy has proven to be more effective in selecting drill bits than experience-based methods. Therefore, drilling planning should consider rock strength, deformation properties, and mineral composition to improve drill bit efficiency and life.
