I-Houston, eTexas – Abacwaningi enkampanini ehamba phambili yobuchwepheshe be-oyela negesi benze intuthuko enkulu ekuthuthukisweni kwezisiki ze-PDC. Izisiki ze-polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) ziyizingxenye ezibalulekile zezingcezu zokubhoboza ezisetshenziswa ekuhlolweni nasekukhiqizweni kwe-oyela negesi. Zenziwe ngengqimba encane yamakristalu edayimane yezimboni ahlanganiswe ne-tungsten carbide substrate. Izisiki ze-PDC zisetshenziselwa ukusika phakathi kwamatshe aqinile ukuze kufinyelelwe izindawo zokugcina uwoyela negesi.
Izisiki ezintsha ze-PDC ezakhiwe abacwaningi zinamandla okuguga aphezulu kunezisiki ze-PDC ezikhona. Abacwaningi basebenzise indlela entsha yokwenza amakristalu edayimane akha izisiki, okuye kwaholela ekusikeni okuhlala isikhathi eside futhi okuhlala isikhathi eside.
“Izicucu zethu ezintsha ze-PDC zinokumelana nokuguguleka okuphindwe kathathu kunezicucu ze-PDC ezikhona,” kusho uDkt. Sarah Johnson, umcwaningi oholayo kulo msebenzi. “Lokhu kusho ukuthi zizohlala isikhathi eside futhi zidinga ukushintshwa okuncane, okuzoholela ekongeni izindleko ezinkulu kumakhasimende ethu.”
Ukuthuthukiswa kwemishini yokusika ye-PDC entsha kuyimpumelelo enkulu embonini kawoyela negesi, ethembele kakhulu kubuchwepheshe bokubhoboza ukuze kufinyelelwe izindawo zokugcina uwoyela negesi. Izindleko zokubhoboza zingaba yisithiyo esikhulu ekungeneni embonini, futhi noma yikuphi ukuthuthuka kobuchwepheshe okunciphisa izindleko nokwandisa ukusebenza kahle kufunwa kakhulu.
“Izicucu zethu ezintsha ze-PDC zizokwenza amakhasimende ethu akwazi ukubhola kahle nangezindleko eziphansi,” kusho uTom Smith, i-CEO yenkampani yezobuchwepheshe be-oyela negesi. “Lokhu kuzobavumela ukuthi bafinyelele ezindaweni zokugcina uwoyela negesi ezazingafinyeleleki ngaphambili futhi kwandise inzuzo yabo.”
Ukuthuthukiswa kwezisiki ezintsha ze-PDC kwaba umzamo wokubambisana phakathi kwenkampani yezobuchwepheshe be-oyela negesi kanye namanyuvesi amaningana ahamba phambili. Ithimba locwaningo lisebenzise amasu esayensi yezinto zokwakha athuthukile ukuhlanganisa amakristalu edayimane akha izisiki. Ithimba lisebenzise nemishini yesimanje ukuhlola ukumelana nokuguguleka nokuqina kwezisiki ezintsha.
Imishini yokusika entsha ye-PDC manje isesigabeni sokugcina sokuthuthukiswa, futhi inkampani yezobuchwepheshe be-oyili negesi ilindele ukuqala ukuyikhiqiza ngobuningi bayo kamuva kulo nyaka. Le nkampani isivele ithole intshisekelo enkulu kumakhasimende ayo, futhi ilindele ukuthi isidingo samadivayisi okusika amasha sibe phezulu.
Ukuthuthukiswa kwemishini yokusika ye-PDC entsha kuyisibonelo sokusungula izinto ezintsha embonini kawoyela negesi. Njengoba isidingo samandla siqhubeka nokukhula, imboni kuzodingeka iqhubeke nokuthuthukisa ubuchwepheshe obusha ukuze ifinyelele imithombo kawoyela negesi eyayingafinyeleleki ngaphambili. Imishini yokusika ye-PDC entsha eyenziwe yinkampani yezobuchwepheshe kawoyela negesi iyintuthuko ethokozisayo ezosiza ekuqhubekiseleni phambili imboni.
