520			_aABSTRACT This study investigates the relationship between the sandstone and limestone of the Bes paramati Mountains in North Cyprus and prospective drilling performance characteristics. To increase the effectiveness and productivity of drilling activities in the area, the study intends to establish a relationship between rock qualities and drilling performance. This study examines distinct sandstone, limestone, and other types of rock's qualities. Porosity, density, and grain size distribution are the characteristics that will be examined, along with their interactions with drilling fluid parameters, bit wear, and penetration rates. X-ray diffraction (XRD) technology will be used in this study to examine the mineral makeup of bentonite and limestone. In order to determine the mineralogical composition of the samples—which is essential for comprehending their geological and industrial properties—the study studies their crystalline structure. The research revealed that the features of the rock can be exploited to enhance drilling operations and have a major impact on drilling performance. The study also contrasts the outcomes of the sandstone and limestone of the Bes Paramati Mountains with those of a comparable investigation in Nigeria. The comparison emphasizes the necessity for region-specific drilling tactics by highlighting the differences in rock characteristics and drilling efficiency between the two locales. According to the XRD findings, smectite minerals, including montmorillonite, make up the majority of the bentonite sample while calcite makes up the majority of the limestone sample. The study also looks at additional minerals that might be present in the samples, like mica, feldspar, and quartz in the bentonite sample, and dolomite and aragonite in the limestone sample. Overall, the study sheds important light on the relationship between the characteristics of rocks and drilling performance metrics and emphasizes the significance of regionspecific drilling tactics for effective and successful drilling operations. Overall, the research offers insightful information regarding the mineral structure and crystallographic characteristics of bentonite and limestone, two common industrial materials used in drilling, building, and agriculture. The XRD data can be utilized to optimize the performance and efficiency of these minerals in a variety of applications. In order to provide a more thorough understanding of the samples' mineral composition, the study additionally examines the samples' crystallographic characteristics, such as lattice constants, interplanar spacing, and the locations of diffraction peaks. Keywords: Bentonite, Composition, Crystalline, Density, Drilling, Limestone, Porosity, Rock Properties, Sandstone, X-Ray Diffraction.
