Drilling Slope Control

is enhanced while damaging
bit vibrations are reduced
through our impact
arrestors (proprietary
technology), reducing
chaotic bit bounce and
stabilizing lateral vibrations
by tracking between
formation ridges in the
bottom hole pattern.

Increased Impact Resistance Directional Responsiveness Enhanced Cuttings Removal

X3 Series™ cutters drill the most
abrasive formations and resist
breakage in the most challenging
interbedded formations.
Nobody understands Thermal
Mechanical Integrity™ (TMI)
qualified PDC cutters like
Halliburton.
The correct gauge configuration
is critical to achieving the
right amount of directional
responsiveness. Our gauge
designs are custom tailored to
provide the right amount of
steerability to complement your
directional drilling system.
Nozzle position and fluid course
geometry are optimized for
the most efficient removal of
cuttings to ensure that the bit
face remains clean at high rates
of penetration.
