DualHelix
Multiformation performance bit
PDC bit with helical shaped blades delivers efficient cutting performance in soft and hard formations.
CenterFlow
Hydraulically enhanced bit
Overview
Enhanced cuttings removal and cutting structure engagement
The CenterFlow™ hydraulically enhanced bit features a more efficient PDC bit core with a centralized hydraulic port structure and Stinger™ conical diamond element. The design of the CenterFlow bit enables improved hydraulic flow through the center of the bit for cuttings removal and better cutting structure engagement with the formation. The design ensures suitability for a range of formations, from soft to hard rock, making it a versatile choice for various drilling applications.
Applications
- All drilling environments
Benefits
- Enhances drilling performance with hydraulic ports and Stinger element located in the bit core
- Provides improved cleaning and cooling of bit
- Optimizes cuttings evacuation from within the bit body
- Increases cutting velocity from face of the bit by 27% on average
Features
- More efficient PDC bit core with centralized hydraulic port structure and Stinger element
- The center flow design enables improved hydraulic flow through the center of the bit, which helps in cuttings removal for better cutting structure engagement with the rock and reduces the risk of bit balling
- Design enhances hydraulics through optimized fluid dynamics that cool and clean the bit, leading to improved bit life and drilling efficiency
The CenterFlow hydraulically enhanced bit leverages a unique port architecture and robust Stinger element to optimize bit cooling and cuttings evacuation.
