“Tungsten Carbide for Oil and Gas DTH Tools" by J. T. Thomas is the ultimate guide to tungsten carbide’s pivotal role in oil and gas drilling. This eBook explores its use in drill bit inserts, stabilizers, valve seats, and nozzles, highlighting its diamond-like hardness and wear resistance. Learn how tungsten carbide withstands extreme high-pressure, high-temperature (HTHP) conditions and corrosive environments. Detailed chapters cover material properties, manufacturing techniques like sintering and HIP, and real-world case studies from the Permian Basin to the Gulf of Mexico. Discover advances in cobalt and nickel binders, repair strategies, and future trends like nano-carbide and 3D printing. Perfect for oilfield engineers, materials scientists, and industry professionals, this book is a must-read for optimizing drilling efficiency and tool durability.
