PDC bits and tricone bits
PDC bits
Feature:Improve support and retention
Advantage:Manage the magnitude cutter loading and bit torque
Benefit:Improved bit durability and directional responsiveness
Advantage:Higher nozzle counts and/or fixed ports to best serve cleaning,cooling and cuttings evacuation requirements with available hydraulic flows.Allow for higher flow rates with minimal increase in pump pressure.
Benefit:Optimized ROP and bit life;Longer drilling intervals without need for tripping.
Feature:Diamonds are impregnated in the matrix behind the PDC cutters
Benefit:Increased footage drilled in abrasive applications
Feature:Larger than standard TFA
