| Abstract | ||
| The subject of oil as a source of energy occupies the main priority all over the world. Facts and statistics indicate that the average consumption of oil product exhausts half the world oil reserve in the last 150 years. The consumption average reaches 1300 billion barrel yearly. In the beginning of the nineteenth century exploring and getting the oil was not a main challenge as it is now. Since the main goal is still finding new oil traps even at deep depths where it reaches sometimes thousands of meters. This requires developing the well drilling techniques and huge equipments to increase the rate of penetration and decrease the digging cost. In the last years, the efforts of professionals and those who are concerned in oil industry concentrate mainly in digging bit. While increasing the drills efficiency through developing the classic ways of drilling (the most popular all over the world is rotary drilling method) may be the most suitable way to achieve the mentioned goals. This paper represents the results of practical study to determine the penetration rate using vibration. A group of cement samples with various compressive strengths were deducted. The results show that the penetration rate for these samples is higher than the values achieved by the rotary drilling method. Also the study shows that we can achieve a good penetration rate (more than 15m/h) with low level frequency. | ||
