Objective With the development of drilling technology for deep strata, the study of the dynamic characteristics and parametric response law of drill bits and deep complex strata during drilling has become a key and difficult point in research. Methods In this paper, a combination of numerical simulation and response surface analysis was used to study the dynamic characteristics of PDC bits and typical complex strata in the drilling process, and parametric analysis was carried out. In this paper, soft-hard-staggered strata with dip angles as a typical complex formation were studied, the dynamic damage finite element simulation model between the PDC drill bit and the soft-hard-staggered strata with the full real size was established based on Abaqus, and the dynamic characteristics of the drill bit subjected to the reaction force of the strata during drilling were derived. Numerical simulation experiments were also conducted by orthogonal tests to investigate the dynamic characteristics of the PDC bit under different formation parameters and drilling parameters. Results The single factor analysis and response surface analysis were used to model and identify the relationship between drilling parameters and stratigraphic parameters and the reaction force on the drill bit by the stratum and to obtain the changing trend and regression model of the reaction force on the drill bit by the stratum under multiple parameters. The results showed that the higher the inclination angle of soft-hard-staggered strata, the higher the average value and peak impact value of the bit subjected to the stratigraphic reaction force. The larger the ratio of softness to the hardness of the strata is, the larger the average and peak reaction forces on the drill bit. Within a certain range, increasing the rotational speed will reduce the impact of the reaction force on the drill bit. Conclusion The research results provide a basis for predicting the bit reaction force during drilling in deep and complex formations and guide the control of the drilling trajectory in deep and complex formations, which is of great significance for deep geological drilling.
