Drillbit dull grading is a well-known process that accumulates the best forensic evidence of the interaction with the rock being drilled for drilling dynamics and practices analysis. To leverage this knowledge, an accurate and well-populated database is essential and SnapScan is the sophisticated solution for simplifying this challenge. This episode will allow us to review the history of SnapScan: how it started, which hardware was utilized and why it migrated to a phone-based application. We will also discuss the decision process to bring quality data capture to the rig floor and to the drill bit level. Cutter damage is constantly misunderstood when evaluated by naked eye. We will explain how SnapScan changed the future of drill bits and the plans to integrate the data into the process to develop better products and deliver performance.
