n: a roller cone bit that is specially designed for air or gas drilling. It is very similar to a regular bit, but features screens over the bearings to protect them from clogging with cuttings and thicker hardfacing on the shirttail to protect them from abrasive, high-velocity air or gas drilling fluid.

n: Used compressive air which replaces flushing fluid as circulation media to cool the bit and carry over cuttings.

n: a method of rotary drilling that uses compressed air as the circulation medium. The conventional method of removing cuttings from the wellbore is to use a flow of water or drilling mud. Compressed air removes the cuttings with equal or greater efficiency. The rate of penetration is usually increased considerably when air drilling is used;however, a principal problem in air drilling is the penetration of formations containing water, since the entry of water into the system reduces the ability of the air to remove the cuttings.

n: A method of rotary drilling that uses compressed air as the circulating medium.

drilling with air instead of drilling mud (requires diverters at the surface to handle cuttings and formation fluids).

n: The percentage of cutting in the annular space carried by drilling fluid.

n: a cylindrical steel bar (similar to the handle or bail of a bucket, only much larger) that supports the swivel and connects it to the hook. Sometimes, the two cylindrical bars that support the elevators and attach them to the hook are called bails or links. v: to recover bottomhole fluids, samples, or drill cuttings by lowering a cylindrical vessel called a bailer to the bottom of a well, filling it, and retrieving it.

n: A rounded steel bar that supports the swivel and connects it to the hook. May also apply to the steel bars that connect the elevators to the hook (links).

remove solids or fluids from a well.

n: a long, cylindrical container fitted with a valve at its lower end, used to remove water, sand, mud, drilling cuttings, or oil from a well in cable-tool drilling.

n: A long, cylindrical container, fitted with a valve at its lower end, used to remove water, sand, mud, oil, or junk and debris from a well.

a hollow tube with a trap door or ball seat, run on wireline, which can be used to spot or remove solid material from a well bore.

v: the operation of cleaning mud cuttings and other material from the bottom of the well bore with a bailer.

n: Used to scoop up cuttings from the well in cable drilling.

v: 1. to collect a mass of sticky consolidated material, usually drill cuttings, on drill pipe, drill collars, bits, and so forth. A bit with such material attached to it is called a balled-up bit. Balling up is frequently the result of inadequate pump pressure or insufficient drilling fluid. 2. in reference to an anchor, to fail to hold on a soft bottom, pulling out, instead, with a large ball of mud attached.

n: The phenomenon that drill bit or drill tool is surrounded by cutting and viscous mud in drilling progress.
