ReedHycalog reinvigorated PDC Cutter by launching our leading ION 3D and ION 4D shaped cutters, setting a new standard for PDC bits with record-breaking performances! This new development led the way for breakthrough-shaped PDC cutter technology, which increased drilling performance globally. Benefits include: -Improved rock failure efficiency increasing ROP improvement by 20 – 60% -Progressively increased point loading -Produced thinner and smaller rock cuttings -4D cutter reduces frictional losses by 35% -Both the 3D and 4D successfully lower the drilling torque

ReedHycalog introduced the advanced Helios thermal tough PDC cutter in 2011. Laboratory tests, along with field testing at that time, proved Helios would drill further than any cutter to date by maintaining sharpness due to its special thermal abrasion resistance. The Helios’ new high-pressure, denser cutter design propelled a step-change in drilling performance, significantly decreasing drilling costs for our customers.

NOV ReedHycalog's 6.125” TKC63 drill bit equipped with ION 3D cutters set a new global performance record in Oman. Our challenge was to drill two 6.125” laterals through limestone in this slim application in 1 run while achieving a competitive average ROP on the same Geosteering SLB PeriScope motorized RSS BHA. Our Tektonic Falcon bit achieved the fastest combined average ROP (151.15 ft/hr) versus applicable offsets despite the controlled parameters used for the directional work as well as the longest horizontal footage drilled by one bit in a single run using the same SLB PeriScope BHA in a slim multilateral hole application.
