Operators are applying new PDC bit technology to combine sections and drill record wells. As U.S. land operators continue to set production records, their need for more robust technology to reduce cost and enhance performance has never been greater. Ulterra, a PDC drillbit manufacturer, and its operator customers are utilizing the patented SplitBlade PDC bit technology to achieve stronger, faster drilling - a trend that combines the curve and lateral into one run and extends overall footage with longer lateral sections. By using this PDC technology that offers tool-face control in the curve with high penetration rates, operators are reducing drilling time on record footage wells with record ROP and fewer trips to change the bit.
