Design Optimization and Performance Analysis of the Pneumatic DTH Hammer with Self-Propelled Round Bit by Kun Bo, Siyuan Sun, Yong Hu, Maosen Wang

“…Although pneumatic down-the-hole (DTH) hammers have good performance of high penetration rate and minimal deviation tendency in the vertical section of oil and gas wells, they have not been successfully used in directional drilling due to drill tool wear and wellbore disturbance. Herein, we developed a novel type of pneumatic DTH hammer with a self-propelled round bit to overcome the technical difficulties of directional drilling. …”
