Bi-Center Bits
The PDC Bi-Center Bit is an advanced drilling tool designed for enlarging wellbores while maintaining directional control and stability. It features a unique design with a smaller pilot bit and an enlarged cutting section, allowing for efficient drilling in hard and abrasive formations. This bit is widely used in oil & gas, geothermal, and mining applications where wellbore enlargement is required without compromising drilling efficiency.
Key Features
- Bi-Center Design: Provides a smooth drilling experience with improved wellbore enlargement.
- PDC Cutters: High-performance polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) cutters ensure superior durability and penetration rates.
- Stable Drilling Performance: Reduces vibration and enhances directional control in both vertical and deviated wells.
- Matrix or Steel Body: Available in matrix-body for enhanced wear resistance or steel-body for higher impact resistance.
- Optimized Hydraulic Design: Nozzles are strategically placed for improved cooling and efficient cuttings removal.
- Customizable Configurations: Available in various sizes and cutting structures to suit different formation conditions.
Advantages
- Higher ROP (Rate of Penetration): Delivers faster drilling speeds compared to conventional bi-center bits.
- Reduced Trip Time: Long-lasting PDC cutters extend bit life, minimizing the need for frequent replacements.
- Wellbore Stability: Ensures smoother borehole conditions, reducing the risk of well collapse.
- Cost-Effective Drilling: Reduces operational costs by combining hole enlargement and drilling in a single run.
- Versatile Applications: Suitable for soft to medium-hard formations in oil & gas, geothermal, and mining industries.
