Bit Hydraulic
The nature of the fluid contained in the pore space of the rock also affects this
mechanism since more filtrate volume would be required to equalize the pressure in
a rock containing gas than in a rock containing liquid.
The chemical composition of the fluid has an effect on penetration rate is that
the hydration rate and bit balling tendency of some clays are affected by the
chemical composition of the fluid.
Segment b-c:
After a certain rotary speed value, the
increase in ROP decelerates as rotation speed
is increased.
