IDEAS Technology Ensures a Better Solution.
The First Time, Every Time.
The Smith Bits division of Smith Technologies developed the IDEAS (Integrated Dynamic Engineering Analysis
System) bit design platform to serve a drilling industry that continues to push drill bit manufacturers for
application-specific bits, increased performance and greater reliability. The IDEAS design platform is a
revolutionary leap forward in truly understanding the rock/cutter interface in a dynamic drilling environment
where every individual element of the bottomhole assembly is
considered. Every new Smith Bits roller cone and PDC drill bit is
developed and certified through the IDEAS bit design process. The
IDEAS drill bit certification process not only results in designing and
producing better bits more quickly, but also significantly reduces the
level of risk for oil and gas companies.
The original objective of IDEAS was to produce improved bit designs

while significantly reducing product development cycle time. IDEAS
technology has met the original objective and, in the process, has
delivered a whole lot more. With the development of the IDEAS
certification process, Smith Bits design engineers now have the unique ability to rigorously evaluate and test
changes to a bit design in a matter of hours or days rather than weeks or months. The IDEAS analysis considers all
of the downhole components when evaluating the best bit design for the highest performance, including drillpipe,
hevi-wate drillpipe, MWD/ LWD tools, reamers, stabilizers and whether an operator is utilizing a push-the-bit or
point-the-bit rotary steerable system. When Smith Bits completes the bit design and analysis, the customer
receives a specific recommendation of the optimal bit as the best solution for the objective.
After a bit has been designed in IDEAS, the same rigorous modeling technology can be used to provide a detailed
applications analysis of how the bit will perform for a specific drilling program. Each customer is given an in-depth
analysis of the bit or bits evaluated, a description of the drill string and its components, proposed operating
parameters and the formations to be drilled, and precise performance projections. Among the data provided to
the customer, in addition to the bit analysis, are graphs illustrating the specific BHA configuration modeled for the
well, bit bottom hole pattern, bit center trajectory, weight on bit, lateral forces and lateral accelerations.
IDEAS’ Five Basic Elements
There are five basic elements to the bit design and performance advantages provided by
IDEAS.
• Comprehensive drilling system analysis: The IDEAS certification process includes

examining the designed bit performance in relation to the entire drill string and
individual BHA components. It also takes into account the specific operating
parameters and interaction of the individual elements of the entire drilling assembly.
• Holistic design process: Smith Technologies design engineers account for every
critical variable to assure that IDEAS-designed bits are optimized for performance. With the insight to bit
performance provided by IDEAS, virtually every cone or cutter layout and configuration is designed to
result in a stable bit that rotates around its center, the key to an efficient, optimized drilling operation.

IDEAS Technology
IDEAS Technology Ensures a Better Solution.
• Application-Specific Enhancements: As a result of the drilling system analysis and holistic design
process, IDEAS certified bits include performance enhancements specific to the application for which it is
designed. This results in bits that consistently outperform previous designs when measured against the
same parameters and objectives, including, for example, improved rate of penetration (ROP), durability,
or specific bit behavior when utilized with a rotary steerable system. IDEAS certified bits are consistently
dynamically stable within the operating envelope for which they are designed, resulting in longer bit runs
and less stress on the BHA, which ultimately results in improved bit durability.
• Rapid Solutions with Reliable Results: By using sophisticated modeling tools and accounting for a
multitude of dynamic variables in a virtual environment, IDEAS certified bits move through the design
stage much more quickly and with a greater level of reliability and performance than ever before. The
IDEAS modeling capability removes the trial-and-error approach previously associated with designing
drill bits by using laboratory tests to quantify variables such as cutter forces and rock removal rates. The
IDEAS process can prove the efficacy of the drill bit design before moving to field trials, ensuring that drill
bits that move to the field trial stage are true candidates for the application for which they were designed.
• Optimized Integration of Advanced Materials: The IDEAS process also allows Smith Bits to more
effectively employ advanced cutter materials. Stronger and more durable materials work in conjunction
with IDEAS design and simulation capabilities to deliver a bit that is more than just correcting a design for
weak and high-wear areas. The result is a bit with an optimal design for high performance and abrasion
and impact resistant cutters.
Because the IDEAS process avoids the costly and time consuming trial-and-error requirements of
the traditional drill bit design process, Smith Bits can deliver a better solution, faster.

IDEAS® Technology Ensures a Better Solution.
Conducting virtual case studies
The IDEAS process certifies the performance capabilities of each bit design through a dynamic simulation and
modeling methodology that takes into account the lithology at the rock/ cutter interface, the drill string, the drive
system, the BHA and the total system's influence on the bit's behavior.
The IDEAS process begins with bit performance data, geological information, BHA details and dull bit analysis.
With this data, actual laboratory rock/cutter tests are devised and carried out. The laboratory data from IDEAS
quantifies the actual cutter forces and rock removal rates, compared with other bit design tools that only estimate
rock/cutter behaviors. This information is then
used for the design analysis in lithologies that
compare to the particular field application for
which the bit is being designed.
The IDEAS design platform incorporates the

quantitative understanding of rock chip
generation and removal, for each individual
cutter, into a dynamic model of the total drill
string, from the BHA to the surface drive
mechanism. When the actual rock/cutter
data is obtained, it is integrated into a full bit
design model to determine the
characteristics of the bit in actual drilling
conditions.
The virtual case study quantifies the effects

of design changes in roller cone and fixed
cutter bit profiles, gauge lengths, cone
offsets for roller cone bits to determine
bottom-hole patterns and bottom-hole forces. These parameters are examined in a fully dynamic simulation
model where bit influences are identical to those encountered in the actual drilling environment.
The model analyzes rock/cutter interface, BHA configuration, drill string behavior, directional response, dynamic
analysis of projected bit behavior, and how changes in operating parameters affect bit performance. This data set
allows the design engineer to fine-tune the bit for a particular field application based upon the desired objectives
such as ROP, footage to be drilled, enhanced durability or specific directional behavior for use with rotary
steerable systems.
The result is a drill bit that is dynamically stable within the operating and application parameters for which it is
designed, contributing to longer life, faster ROP and increased reliability for downhole electronics. Optimized
parameters can be maintained for faster, longer bit runs with less stress on the BHA and rig equipment.

IDEAS Directional Certification of Fixed Cutter Bits
Improves Performance, Reduces Risk and Keeps Directional Wells on Target.
The IDEAS Directional Certification process can account for the specific attributes of every different type of rotary
steerable system and accurately predict bit performance in any directional application, allowing Smith Bits
engineers to design fixed cutter bits that are dynamically stable across a range of demanding directional
applications .
IDEAS bit designs are developed using highly sophisticated simulation software, which accurately models the
total drilling system, from where each individual cutter contacts the formation, through each component in the
BHA, all the way up to the surface drive mechanism. Additionally, with IDEAS,
all the different types of rotary steerable systems can be accurately modeled
individually.
By using IDEAS technology, it is possible to precisely model and predict how

several different IDEAS bit designs will perform in specific formation types,
with a specific rotary steerable system, specific operating parameters and a
specific bottom-hole assembly configuration. It's like having the opportunity
to drill the same interval multiple times with different bits and then being able
to pick the best one for the application.
Extensive IDEAS Directional Certification analyses ultimately provided an extremely important revelation: a
single bit design can, in fact, provide exceptional drilling performance when used with a range of different types of
directional drilling systems, provided the bit has been designed to remain dynamically stable. The use of IDEAS to
analyze conventional directional bit designs has revealed that, in many instances, the range of special directional
features incorporated into older conventional bits serve as little more than a crutch that allows a basically
unstable bit design to drill acceptably in a specific directional application. However, when this bit is subsequently
used with a slightly different BHA or in a different application, its unstable character is revealed thus requiring a
new or significantly modified bit to again compensate for the inherent instability of the design under the new
conditions.
With IDEAS, a bit designer no longer needs to focus on stabilizing an unstable bit design, and instead the designer
can concentrate more on optimizing the blade count, cutter selection, cutter layout and hydraulic configuration to
make the bit drill faster and last longer. In general, directionally certified IDEAS bits can have reduced blade
counts, larger diameter PDC cutters and lower back rake angles relative to conventional directional bits. The large
diameter cutters establish full bottom-hole coverage, generate higher loads per cutter, and provide greater depth
of cut to maximize ROP. All of these characteristics are matched to the drillability characteristics of the different
formations and specific lithologies.
IDEAS bits are directionally certified to remain stable and provide superior performance with
different types of steering systems in a wide range of applications, reducing risk of suboptimal
performance should it become necessary to change the system configuration, operating
parameters or something else due to unforeseen developments. Also, experience has shown
that drilling with a stable bit not only reduces drilling costs, it also provides a smoother, high
quality wellbore.
IDEAS Directional Certification fixed cutter bits keep directional wells and drilling budgets on target.

Applied Technology
Eclipsing All Other Drillstring Analysis Programs
i-DRILL 4D modeling predicts a drilling system's performance and behavior using detailed geometric input
parameters anticipated operating parameter ranges, extreme computing power, finite element analysis and lab-
derived rock mechanics data. i-DRILL provides a unique approach that allows a complete drilling system analysis
instead of the common practice used in the past of assuming bit-effect factors. i-DRILL provides clients with the
opportunity to eliminate the costly exercise of learning through trial-and-error.
By utilizing a time-based model with six degrees of freedom, the 4D modeling accurately predicts the vibrations
and accelerations often seen to have detrimental effects on directional control, tool reliability, drill string integrity
and drilling performance.
The ability to pinpoint the sources and

effects of torsional, axial, and lateral
oscillations enables drilling engineers and
directional drillers to quantify design
changes to the drillstring configuration
and optimize parameters. Excessive
bending stresses and buckling are
commonly seen as major contributors to
downtime. i-DRILL provides an in-depth
understanding of a drilling system's
integrity, achieved by evaluating bending
moments in two directions. Directional
tendencies are predicted by examining the
forces generated by bit-rock interaction
with the dynamic effect of the entire
drillstring. i-DRILL gives the client the
chance to focus on any discrete
component of the drillstring to evaluate
and understand that specific component's
contribution to overall performance.
The virtual world meets real world through

the coupling of rock mechanics lab data
with highly advanced proprietary
software. Heterogeneous formations and transitional drilling can be modeled and combined with benchmark
outputs such as torque & drag and critical speeds.
i-DRILL’s extensive tool portfolio includes the differentiation between push- and point-the-bit rotary steerable
systems, concentric and eccentric reamers, positive displacement motors, hole openers, and roller reamers, just
to list a few.
i-DRILL delivers to the energy industry the tremendous potential to change the way wells are drilled in the future,
and it is yet another example of SMITH being at the forefront of drilling technology development.

Advanced Services Engineering
Smith's technology and engineering expertise in customers' offices
Measurable results are what matter most to the operator, and Smith Technologies Advanced Services Engineering
(ASE Organization) has built an impressive track record of lowering operators’ drilling costs through improved
drilling performance by recommending the ideal bit for the application.
Smith Bits' Advanced Services Engineering (ASE) is an independent applications organization within Smith that
provides expert drill bit selection and well planning engineering to its customers. ASE engineers become an
integral part of customers' drilling teams, recommending the correct drill bits to optimize performance and
reduce the operators’ drilling costs.
Objectivity is the fundamental principle of the ASE program. Bit recommendations by Smith Technologies ASE
engineers are always based upon the best product for the specific application regardless of the drill bit
manufacturer. No one company makes the ideal bit for every application and ASE engineers will recommend a
competitor's bit where it is appropriate.
Providing expert drill bit selection

The Smith Technologies ASE program provides a highly experienced bit application specialist to a customer's
drilling team to generate objective bit recommendations and advise both the operator and Smith on day-to-day
requirements for maintaining superior bit performance.
ASE engineers consider the entire drilling environment, including formation, the components of the BHA, drilling
fluids, rig capabilities, rig crew and any special drilling objectives in their process of finding an optimum bit and
then maintaining its efficiency throughout the bit's life.
The ASE engineer is also armed with several Smith Technologies proprietary tools, such as Smith Bits' Drilling
Records System™ (DRS), which includes detailed bit runs from oil, gas and geothermal wells from around the
world; the Drill Bit Optimization System® (DBOS), which helps determine the appropriate combination of cutting
structure, gauge protection, hydraulic configuration and other bit optimizing features; and Yield Point software
for jet nozzle optimization.
To establish measurable goals, the ASE engineer prepares a comprehensive well plan that evaluates performance
during drilling. Upon completion of the well, a post-well analysis measures the success of the well plan and
provides a permanent formal reference for future development wells.

Applied Technology
Advanced Services Engineering
Planning the well
The well planning process begins with support from DRS, DBOS and Yield Point software as well as the ASE
engineer's own expertise and experience in the field of drill bit applications around the world. Utilizing the
knowledge gained from an analysis of offset wells from the DRS and a spectrum of other relevant information, the
DBOS program is used to begin preparing the well plan. The DBOS analysis begins with a thorough reconstruction
of expected lithologies gleaned from well logs from the closest offset wells and includes a formation analysis,
unconfirmed rock strength analysis and both roller cone and fixed cutter bit selections.
Operational needs and the well plan are added, including casing points and hole sizes, well directional plot,
expected formation tops, and mud weights and types. The result is an optimized minimum cost per foot program,
often with multiple options and alternatives.
Smith's Yield Point software creates a graphical user interface to aid drilling engineers in specifying mud types
and properties to satisfy rheological models of drill strings and well annuli. Yield Point can answer questions about
hole cleaning using data from the formations to be encountered. Utilizing a cuttings transport model, the software
can be used to assess potential hole-cleaning problem areas during the well planning stage rather than
encountering problems during actual drilling operations.
The appropriate rig and office personnel are briefed on the drilling program and monitor the well prognosis during
implementation of the well plan. Any problems that arise are identified and investigated, and decisions are made
to correct the issues, subject to the objective of maintaining peak drilling efficiency in a safe and timely manner.
Post Well Analysis
A thorough performance assessment is conducted upon completion of the well, which evaluates every facet of the
drilling operations. The drilling team, including the ASE engineer, makes recommendations for improvements
that will be incorporated into future well plans.
Smith's ASE program and its objectivity provide value to Smith's customers by recommending the best bit for the
specific application and, in turn, provide the most efficient and economical drilling solution to the customer.

Drill Bit Optimization System

DBOS™ delivers a better bit program for achieving lower cost per foot drilled.
The Smith Bits’ DBOS (Drill Bit Optimization System) service can deliver the minimum cost per foot with a higher
degree of certainty and reduced risk by identifying the best bit, from the vast Smith Bits portfolio, to match the
physical characteristics of the interval to be drilled.
DBOS is a software-based process which identifies the Smith fixed

cutter or roller cone bit that has the appropriate combination of
cutting structure, gauge protection, hydraulic configuration and
other features needed to achieve the lowest cost per foot drilled for
the operator. The DBOS service incorporates a thorough analysis of
offset well data including well logs, formation tops, mud logs, core
analysis, rock mechanics, drilling parameters, bit records and dull
bit conditions.
The software tools use a geologic mapping program, well log

correlation and analysis software, and proprietary Smith Bits
algorithms for rock compressive strengths, bit performance
analysis and bit selection. The DBOS service is highly flexible, allowing Smith Bits engineers to analyze various
levels of information and deliver a bit strategy based on input from, for example, a single offset well, a multi-well
cross section, or a full field mapping and regional trend analyses.
The DBOS service has been offered for over 15 years, creating a supporting database containing records from
more than 8,750 projects in 56 countries, encompassing more than 12,500 wells. Operators around the world
have attributed significant savings in drilling time and cost to use of the DBOS service.
The DBOS evaluation process

The process begins with an evaluation of the expected formation types that may be encountered in an interval and
their associated section lengths. Data are obtained from offset well logs. DBOS then determines unconfined rock
compressive strength, effective porosity, abrasion characteristics and impact potential. The rock properties will
help identify one or more potentially optimal bit types and DBOS identifies various applicable bit characteristics
based on its analysis. Hydraulic configuration, cone layout, insert type, gauge protection, cutter type and
diameter, blade profile and cutter density are examples of bit characteristics that are evaluated. DBOS also
predicts cost per foot that each bit will achieve and makes recommendations for the bit type with the minimum
cost per foot.
Various levels of the DBOS service are offered and, for each level, DBOS data are presented graphically to
customers in a log plot form called a Bit Performance Analysis (BPA). The parameters include bit record
information, directional surveys, real-time ROP and mud log data, rock type and strength data, and hydraulic and
mechanical energy factors, among other information. The BPA evaluates key bit performance variables over the
given drillability intervals, identifying which bit type would be the most successful for drilling through particular
single intervals or over multiple intervals.
Following the well, post-run analyses evaluate bit performance from available data such as real-time ROP, weight-
on-bit, RPM, torque, dull bit conditions and other parameters. The results of this analysis provide design and
application engineering feedback for continuous improvement.

Yield Point Hydraulic Analysis
Optimized hole cleaning with Yield Point solutions
Smith Technologies developed the Yield Point drilling hydraulics and hole cleaning simulation program to aid
drilling engineers in specifying mud type and mud properties to satisfy rheological models of drill strings and well
annuli. Yield Point can identify potential hole cleaning problems in the planning stage rather than during drilling
operations when problems can affect the cost of the well.
This comprehensive drilling hydraulics and hole cleaning

optimization program uses sophisticated algorithms to
deliver solutions for conventional jet nozzle optimization
and selection. After initialization data is input, Yield Point
creates simulations of mud properties, flow rates, rates of
penetration and total flow area. The virtual model then
demonstrates the respective effects on observed bit
hydraulic factors and on hole cleaning.
Yield Point RT for real-time assessment

Smith's most advanced version of the Yield Point platform is
Yield Point RT. It uses WITSML (well site information
transfer standard markup language) capabilities that
enable a customer's well data to be linked directly to Yield Point RT. The data can be analyzed virtually in real
time, resulting in recommendations for the operator that can be implemented immediately. Hydraulics can be
optimized to maximize efficiency as the well is being drilled.
By linking a customer's well data directly to Yield Point RT, the virtual model can include data from numerous
contributors. Using the WITSML defined standard and any common Internet connection, virtually all information
created at or around a well site can be transferred to a common WITSML data store for further retrieval and use
by authorized parties, beginning with the well operator and including various vendors and service providers that
contribute their data.
Data Input to Yield Point

Wellsite providers, as well as off-location users, can input and retrieve data from Yield Point via an Internet
connection. These include drilling contractors, mud loggers, rig instrumentation and wireline companies, drilling
fluid service companies, casing running services and directional drillers. Operator personnel can include, drilling
and exploration engineers and managers, reservoir engineers and management personnel. Other service
providers include seismic survey companies, process optimization consultants and materials suppliers.
Wellsite service providers can contribute expertise to the common store via the WITSML interface, and then
query the data store for combined information from other wellsite services. Their information can support
programmatic analysis, visualization and potential corrective actions, and influence decision making in drilling
and production operations.
Operating company personnel can compile information from any mix of vendor sources, can view and monitor
current wells via web-based applications and can extract reports at any time.
The result is a real-time solution that yields substantial cost savings to the customer.

Drilling Record System™
DRS Offers the Industry's Best Library Of Bit Run Information
The Smith Bits Drilling Record System (DRS) is a collection of nearly three million bit runs from virtually every oil
and gas field in the world. This database was initiated in May 1985 and, since that time, records have been
continuously added for oil, gas and geothermal wells. The Smith Drilling Record System (DRS) contains a wealth
of information that enables our design engineers to evaluate individual bit runs anywhere in the world. Armed
with this detailed set of data and the extraordinary capabilities of the IDEAS design system, engineers can
simulate bit performance, and make changes to their bit designs to optimize performance in a specific application.
In addition to its use as a database for bit design, the DRS system also allows Smith's DBOS (Drill Bit Optimization
System) to provide an accurate well plan for a customer to ensure that the right bit is run in a given formation.
With this comprehensive plan in place prior to beginning to actually drill the well, our customers are able to reduce
risk, lower drilling costs, and shorten the total time required to drill their well.
The inclusion of bit record data from your wells in Smith's DRS contributes to better drill bit selection and
application for your drilling program. The Smith Bits DRS can be accessed through your Smith Bits Application
Engineer or Sales Representative.

When drilling hard, highly abrasive formations, Smith Bits SHARC Fixed Cutter bits will survive drilling the target interval
without sacrificing rate of penetration. SHARC fixed cutter bits drill faster and stay downhole longer in a time, a critical
advantage when rig rates continue to increase and drilling programs become more demanding.
Initially proven in the toughest East Texas formations such as the Travis Peak, Cotton Valley and Hosston, and in the
Northern Louisiana basins in the ArkLaTex region, Smith's SHARC PDC bits are now achieving superior performance in
challenging applications all over the world.
The key to achieving both bit durability and maximum ROP is maintaining drill bit stability across a broad range of
downhole conditions. SHARC bits are designed using Smith's patented IDEAS process specifically to eliminate vibration,
resulting in maximized stability for superior wear resistance. Cutter damage is minimized, meaning drilled footage is
maximized and, since sharp cutting edges are retained longer, rate of penetration (ROP) is maintained at a higher level.
SHARC bits have the durability to eliminate unnecessary trips, thus saving time and costs for the operator. SHARC bits
are available with IDEAS certification or IDEAS directional certification.
In early drilling tests, a SHARC design fixed cutter bit drilled 36% more footage than a conventionally designed bit under
similar conditions. Both bits were run until their cutters reached 1-1 dull grade wear flat. At the end of the runs, the
SHARC design bit drilled 1,050 ft compared to 732 ft for the conventionally designed bit. These early results have been
substantiated by numerous real world performance comparisons documenting the ability of dynamically stable SHARC
bits to out-drill the competition.
Drilling abrasive formations

Smith Bits has developed cutters that complement the SHARC design's capability for drilling abrasive formations. The
latest technologies in materials, diamond interface design and manufacturing processes are utilized to deliver
significantly more wear resistance than cutters run in conventional applications.
Like a shark's multiple rows of teeth, SHARC's cutting structure layout features two rows of cutters set on certain blades.
Each individual row reinforces the other to provide maximum durability over the critical nose and shoulder areas of the
bit, ensuring that ROP capability is not compromised.
Additionally, the bit's double rows of cutters are oriented to ensure that hydraulic cleaning and cooling efficiency are
maintained. This feature is important not only in abrasive interbedded sands but also in fast surface intervals or when
hydraulic energy is compromised, for example, on motor runs.

VertiDrill
Drill Bits for Maintaining a Vertical Trajectory
VertiDrill bits maintain a vertical profile in faulted and fractured formations
without using costly active steering systems.
Smith Bits' VertiDrill line of fixed cutter bits is designed to maintain a vertical trajectory, or correct wellbore
inclination to vertical, while drilling at a high rate of penetration (ROP) through formations with inherent deviation
tendencies, without the aid of exotic and expensive active directional steering tools
A vertical wellbore without expensive directional tools
Wellbore deviation issues in vertical sections can result from numerous factors; however, they are typically a result
of drilling through faulted zones, highly fractured formations and intervals with highly dipped formations. Smith
Bits' VertiDrill line of fixed cutter bits maintain a vertical trajectory or can correct wellbore inclination to vertical
without expensive directional tools.
The tendency to drill vertically, independent of formation effects, is achieved with VertiDrill's uniquely designed
cutting structure layout and bit geometry, which create “active” and “passive” cutting zones.
VertiDrill has no moving parts to wear out and no seals to leak. Since the VertiDrill can be run on a conventional
rotary assembly, vertical sections of the wellbore can be drilled without an expensive
directional assembly. Additionally, the bit does not require a vertical drilling system and
eliminates trips for well path correction runs.
VertiDrill's patented design allows for conventional rotary drilling with the appropriate
weight-on-bit (WOB) that produces the best ROP for the bit-formation combination. The bit
also provides for very efficient rock removal, resulting in longer life.
How it works
With VertiDrill's unique cutting structure and bit geometry, the bit inherently drills towards
the low side of the wellbore. In formations with severe dip angles, the bit maintains a
vertical wellbore as a result of the active and passive zones of the cutting structure.
Formation is drilled as the active zone of the bit engages the low side of the wellbore. As the
bit rotates to the high side of the wellbore, the active blade area disengages from the
formation and the bit's passive zone is then on the low side of the wellbore. Due to the bit's
unique layout and geometry, the passive zone of the bit does not engage the wellbore.
6-1/4” MV613LYPX The result: the VertiDrill bit cuts the wellbore only when the active zone is engaged on the
low side of the wellbore. The bit's medium profile length improves side-cutting capability and its increased
diamond volume results in enhanced durability in abrasive applications. VertiDrill's relatively shallow cone design
minimizes formation resistance in the bit center and prevents the bit from deviating.
The bit's plural cutting structure layout optimizes performance in abrasive applications and increases drilling
efficiency. The bits can be tailored to optimize performance for a specific application with the number of blades, and
the cutter size and density are determined by the application's formation characteristics.
Smith's innovative engineering of VertiDrill bits lowers drilling costs by offering a proven alternative to expensive
directional drilling systems.

SHAHEEN
Consistently Delivering Superior Performance in
Difficult -to-Drill Middle East Carbonate Formations
Smith Bits developed SHAHEEN PDC bits specifically to swiftly and surely attack hard carbonate formations unique
to the Middle East. The Shaheen, or peregrine falcon, is noted for being the fastest bird in the world in terms of its
hunting dive, achieving speeds in excess of 320 kilometers per hour. Likewise, SHAHEEN PDC bits have been
designed to provide unsurpassed speed in attacking difficult formations.
The key to achieving superior performance

in the face of the technical challenges posed
by the difficult-to-drill Middle East
formations was Smith's use of IDEAS® - the
Integrated Dynamic Engineering Analysis
System. By focusing IDEAS, the industry's
most advanced and accurate drill bit design SHAHEEN is designed with the specific
system, on the unique lithologies of the Middle East,
characteristics required to effectively drill
Middle Eastern Carbonates.
Smith Bits created the SHAHEEN line of PDC drill bits
that consistently outperform previous PDC bit designs.
By using the IDEAS bit design platform, Smith Bits design engineers can certify bit performance in Middle East
carbonates without going through the costly and time consuming trial-and-error of conventional bit design
processes. Whether the need is for improved ROP, greater durability, or specific directional behavior for today's
complex rotary steerable tools, Middle East operators are seeing both increased footage and faster ROP in
carbonate formations resulting from the improved dynamic stability of SHAHEEN PDC bit designs.
With SMITH, SHAHEEN and IDEAS, you get the winning combination that offers a better, customized Middle East
solution - the first time, every time.

Diamond Impreg Bits
Kinetic diamond impregnated bits set records for ROP and footage drilled.
Smith Bits' Kinetic bits are designed for superior performance when drilling at high rotary speeds through the
toughest, most abrasive formations. Kinetic bits have established world and field records for most footage drilled
and highest rate of penetration (ROP) in numerous regions throughout North America, Latin America, Europe,
Africa and the Middle East. Open face for Brazed in GHI

Kinetic Bit Configurations
Most Kinetic bits use strategically placed premium PDC
cutters in the cone area to improve drill-out capability and
maximize ROP. The cutters are backed up by the Cast in GHI
impregnated matrix material for enhanced durability. TSP
inserts are positioned on the gauge to ensure that the bit
maintains a full gauge hole. In extremely abrasive
applications, TSP elements are also placed on the bit
shoulder for increased durability and enhanced wear Dedicated fluid port
resistance in this critical area.
The bit designs incorporate innovative new cutting

concepts, including increased blade heights that make impregnated body material
Central flow
placements of larger volumes of diamond material
possible. This results in increased nose and shoulder durability while retaining solid gauge protection in abrasive
applications. Increased blade height translates into more footage drilled than is attainable with conventional
impregnated drill bits.
Kinetic bits also feature custom approaches to impregnated bit design for the particular drive system being used
for a specific application. The bit profile is tailored to optimize performance whether the bit is run with a PDM or
turbodrill.
A highly efficient hydraulics configuration is also engineered into the Kinetic bit design. The bit uses a combination
of center flow fluid distribution and precisely placed ports to enhance bit cooling and to ensure efficient bit
cleaning. The Kinetic bit can effectively drill through mixed lithologies at optimal ROP, reducing the need to change
bits for the different formations encountered. The result is faster ROP, fewer trips and a lower total cost to the
operator.

KINETIC
Diamond Impreg Bits
Proprietary combination of ultra-hard materials
Kinetic bits are built with precisely engineered Grit Hot Pressed Inserts (GHI), premium PDC cutters, thermally
stable polycrystalline (TSP) diamond and proprietary diamond impregnated matrix materials. Each element is
chosen to optimize both durability and ROP.
GHI inserts consist of a proprietary combination of natural diamond stones and tungsten carbide matrix powder
tailored to specific material properties for the drilling application. GHI uses a proprietary granulation process that
ensures a more uniform distribution of the diamond material than is possible in the conventional pelletization
process. The resulting more consistent GHI is more durable, maintains its shape and drills faster for a longer
period. The individual GHIs are similar to small grinding wheels, taking a very small depth of cut with each bit
rotation. They continually sharpen themselves while drilling by grinding away the bonding material to expose new
diamonds. Hybrid designs, designated with an “H”, incorporate PDC, natural diamond and TSP material.
Kinetic bits can be tailored with different bonding materials and diamonds to match the formation being drilled and
the drive system used, making the bits ideal to exploit the higher rotational velocities possible with turbodrills.
Because the GHIs are raised to allow a greater flow volume on the bit face, Kinetic diamond impregnated bits are
able to drill PDC drillable shoe tracks and improve ROP in a wider range of applications extending the economic
application range of the bits.
Additionally, Kinetic bits are cost-effective in overbalanced applications where drilling with a conventional fixed
cutter or roller cone bit results in low ROP and reduced footage.
7-7/8” K705BPX High performance when combined with turbodrills

6” K505TBPXX Because of the inherent power and longevity advantages that a turbodrill
6-1/2” K507TBPXC has over a PDM, which incorporates elastomers in the power section, the
Kinetic bit delivers particularly high performance when combined with
Smith Neyrfor's turbodrill. The bit's extended gauge, in conjunction with
the stability of the turbodrill, generates superior orientation capability;
excellent hole quality with API Class hole geometry; elimination of hole
spiraling; reduced parasitic rotary torque; and improved hole and log
quality. The turbodrill features a bit-shock dampening hydraulic system
and bit optimization without sacrificing directional control.
For drilling the hardest, most abrasive rocks in the world, let the record
show that there is no better combination than a Smith Bits Kinetic
diamond impreg bit run on a Smith Neyrfor turbodrill.

Insert Technology
GHI (Grit Hot-Pressed Inserts)
Grit Hot-Pressed Inserts (GHI) use a proprietary granulation
process that ensures a much more uniform distribution of the
diamond material than is possible in the conventional pelletization
process. This results in a more consistent GHI that will be much
more durable, maintain its shape and, as a result, drill faster for a
longer period of time.
The individual GHIs are similar to small grinding wheels, so they

take a very small depth of cut with each rotation of the bit. While
drilling, GHIs continuously sharpen themselves by grinding away
the bonding material to expose new diamonds. Smith customizes
the GHIs with different bonding materials and diamonds to match
the formation being drilled and the drive mechanism used. Because
the GHIs are raised and allow a greater flow volume on the bit face,
the new Smith Kinetic impreg bits can drill faster in a wider range of
formations, thus extending the application range for these bits.
Uniform Diamond Distribution and The revolutionary Smith Bits GHI is more
Optimized Material Wear Rates durable than conventional GHIs, and will drill
faster for a longer period of time.

CFD
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
Efficient Hydraulics Increases Performance and Lowers Drilling Costs
Smith’s design engineers use computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to model the interaction of drilling fluids with the
bit and the wellbore. These complex algorithms enable the simulation of a wide variety of downhole conditions and
allow the engineer to evaluate the effects of various blade and nozzle configurations in order to optimize flow
patterns and improve the performance of the bit.
Smith Bits makes extensive use of this sophisticated technique to maximize the available hydraulic energy and
provide operators bits that will drill at the lowest possible cost per foot/meter.
Using CFD to visualize flow patterns provides

designers with a reliable platform to analyze the
effects of design modifications on bit performance.
CFD analysis can reveal any potential problems with

flow patterns and allows designers to optimize the
bit design for maximum performance.

Roller Cone Bits
FH
Optimized TCI Bits Set New Standards of Performance
The FH line of tungsten carbide insert bits (TCI) combines high rates of penetration with unmatched durability
and reliability. FH roller cone drill bits offer superior TCI bits for a wide variety of applications, and deliver a
lower cost per foot when drilling your well.
Cutting Structure
FH drill bits have patented insert and cutter geometries, and proprietary carbide materials that offer the
optimum combination to cause the rock to fail. Smith's unique rock mechanics laboratory gives unmatched
insight into the interaction between the cutting elements and the rock. Engineers use this sophisticated tool
to precisely monitor this interaction and optimize the bit design to allow the maximum mechanical energy to
be applied to the formation.
Reliability
The FH bit's reliability is grounded on the latest generation bullet-shaped and dual dynamic seals. The FH seal
has undergone extensive finite element analysis (FEA) modeling in a laboratory environment, and the
laboratory results have been verified through extensive field testing in applications throughout North America.
The bearing in the FH series incorporates the latest evolution of the silver plated Spinodal™ friction bearing.
The proven properties of the proprietary Spinodal bearing material, along with the friction-reducing effects of
the silver combine to create a longer lasting, highly reliable bearing package.
Hydraulics
Smith was the first roller cone bit company to offer a truly “flexible” hydraulics
option. With the introduction of Flex-Flo™ the industry is no longer forced to use
hydraulic configurations that are not optimized for specific applications. Utilizing
state of the art computational fluid dynamics software, and our in-house bit flow
visualization system, led to the application specific options found in Flex-Flo. The
Flex-Flo options of S-Flo, X-Flo and V-Flo allow operators to choose the hydraulic
configuration most effective for the specific application being drilled (see page 41).

GEMINI
Dynamic Twin Seal System
Protecting the bearings of a roller cone bit as it cuts its way through hot, high-pressure rocks while immersed in
corrosive drilling and formation fluids is perhaps one of the most
challenging sealing environments in the world.
The Gemini Dynamic Twin Seal System is the industry leader in

durability and reliability. Since its introduction, The Gemini System
has undergone a continuing regimen of improvements in both
materials seal profile. The system consists of a primary seal that
protects the bearings and a secondary seal that protects the primary
seal. The proprietary dual material primary seal combines a highly
wear resistant dynamic face elastomer and a softer energizing
material that exerts a consistent, but not excessive, contact pressure. Gemini
This “bullet” shaped primary seal has a large cross sectional profile to Twin Seal
provide maximum protection for the bearing. System
The secondary seal is also made from a mix of patented fabrics and is designed to guard against abrasive
particles in the well bore fluids coming into contact with the bearing seal. A proprietary thermoplastic fabric
reinforced with Kevlar® is positioned on the seal's dynamic face, embedded in an elastomer matrix. The fabric
provides resistance to wearing, tearing, and heat damage, as well as a barrier to abrasive elements in well bore
fluids. The elastomer matrix provides elasticity and proven sealing ability. Although they work independently,
the seals create a synergy that allows them to perform reliably for extended periods of time at higher RPMs,
heavier drillstring weights, extreme dogleg severity, and increased mud weight and pressures.
The Gemini Dynamic Twin Seal System is available in a wide range of sizes and types of roller cone bits.

TCT
Two Cone Technology for More Aggressive Roller Cone Designs
Smith Bits’ 21st century two-cone drill bits were designed using the proprietary IDEAS drill bit design platform.
IDEAS' dynamic modeling capabilities mean that its two-cone bits are designed, evaluated and tested in a virtual
setting to reduce vibration, enhance the bit's stabilization and increase ROP.
Smith Bits design engineers modeled and analyzed the performance of numerous cutting structure designs. As a
result, Smith's two-cone bits have a cutting structure layout that optimally exploits the bit's unique characteristics.
Two-cone bits have lower tooth counts than equivalent three-cone bits, and higher point loading per tooth for
improved formation penetration. The bits also benefit from current technology for enhanced insert geometries and
the latest carbides and hardfacing materials.
Smith's two-cone bit design incorporates computational fluid dynamics (CFD)

algorithms to ensure optimal nozzle positioning. The bit designs can utilize five
nozzles, four outboard and one center jet. Smith's field proven V-Flo™ (Vectored
Flow) nozzle configuration optimizes cone cleaning and cuttings evacuation (see
page 41).
The TCT’s five nozzles are precisely positioned and directed for increased
impingement pressure and improved penetration rates resulting from excellent
cutting structure cleaning and efficient cuttings removal. Additionally, the two-
cone bit's five-nozzle configuration significantly increases available options for
directing the nozzles compared with a three-cone bit configuration that utilizes
three nozzles.
An extensive new forging design was developed for the two-cone bit as a result of
IDEAS simulation. Smith's two-cone bits are designed with four points of
stabilization to reduce vibration. The lug pads and leg-backs are protected by
tungsten carbide inserts to stabilize the bit and ensure a full-gauge wellbore. The
lug pad and leg-back placement, along with the forging's geometry, ensures
9-7/8” TCTi+ reduced vibration, longer bit life and higher ROP.
The bit's durability and reliability are assured with its Gemini® Dynamic Seal System, which utilizes a pair of seals
working together to provide the most reliable and robust sealing mechanism available in roller cone bits. They
maintain seal integrity in the harshest environments, including high RPM, high weight, high dogleg severity, high
mud weights, and high temperature, high pressure conditions.
Applying 21st century technologies, Smith Bits' two-cone drill bits can knock-out tough drilling situations.

Superior Flexibility and Performance

Smith Bits roller cone bits offer the utmost in hydraulic configuration flexibility and performance . Due to the wide
range of drilling applications around the world, there is no one hydraulics configuration that works best for every
situation. Each application has its own requirements for the three primary bit hydraulic functions of cutting
structure cleaning, bottom-hole cleaning, and cuttings evacuation. With Flex-Flo, Smith offers the ideal option for
each situation.

Typhoon Hydraulics
Unmatched Versatility
Typhoon Hydraulics uses sophisticated CFD analysis techniques to evaluate fluid flow and ensure that flow is
optimized to remove the cuttings more efficiently and that the cutting structure is always drilling virgin formation.
Typhoon Hydraulics utilizes both Vectored Extended (VE)
nozzles and Dome Jet nozzles to offer the optimum hydraulic
solution for individual larger hole diameter application.
Vectored Extended (VE) nozzles precisely direct the fluid flow

to the leading edge of the cones to provide the most efficient
cleaning.
The Dome Jet (J3) nozzles direct the fluid flow toward the
intermesh area between the cones rather than directly at
them. The combined effect of these six precisely oriented
nozzles is a flow pattern which creates significant
improvements in the path and velocity of the drilling fluid.
This improves cone cleaning, optimizes the displacement of
cuttings off-bottom and up the drillstring and results in
maximum ROP.
With the capability of providing more options for hydraulics

programs, Shamal Typhoon gives Smith's design engineers
the tools to create the best configuration for the customer's
individual application. The result is a bit that offers superior
performance no matter what the drilling challenge. Shamal Typhoon bits incorporate three

Geometry Choices
Smith pioneered the use of specific insert shapes in 1995. Since then we have used a number of proprietary tools
to determine optimum insert geometry for given bit designs. Among these insert geometries are conical, chisel,
the Dog Bone®, Incisor™ and Asymmetric Conic Edge (ACE) inserts.
The Dog Bone insert, initially used in the Shamal product line, is a case in point. Here a combination of toughness
and aggression has been designed to drill strong, non abrasive carbonates and also achieve higher ROPs in
interbedded clays and sands. The new Shamal Typhoon uses the DogBone along with the Incisor, ACE and
conventional chisel inserts to enhance the performance improvements provided by Typhoon hydraulics.
The ACE inserts’ unique geometry is a hybrid of the conical and chisel insert. It has an offset conical top for
increased strength, and a flatter leading side to enhance scraping. This proprietary asymmetric design is highly
resistant to breakage and impact damage, yet more aggressive and effective in softer formations than a standard
conical insert.
Material Choices
Smith Bits’ engineers can optimize insert materials to suit individual
applications. Insert material grades are not tied to a particular design
platform, rather they are matched to application requirements to maximize
performance flexibility, reliability and durability. Extensive research
resources are dedicated to continually developing carbides that are tailored
to specific applications. The work done with coarse carbides is an example of
this effort. These inserts offer a new level of performance in meeting the
Coarse Carbide Microstructure
drilling challenges of the world’s most demanding applications.
Diamond Choices
Diamond Enhanced Insert
Smith was the first company to offer diamond enhanced inserts
in roller cone bits and remains the performance leader in this
technology. Today, diamond inserts can be used in various
areas of the bit, based on the needs of a particular application.
Diamond inserts can be used on heel rows, the gauge rows, as
every insert on all three cones, and/or on the bit leg, as the
situation requires. The use of diamond inserts helps ensure
maximum durability in the most challenging applications.

Turbodrilling
Turbodrilling
Smith Neyrfor Turbodrilling-The Faster Way to Better Drilling Performance
A History of Technical Leadership
Smith Neyrfor introduced turbodrilling to the modern Western
oil industry more than half a century ago and, since that time,
the company has maintained its technical leadership position in
the design, manufacture and application of high performance
turbodrills for the oilfield. The modern era of advanced
directional drilling techniques actually began with turbodrills
when, in 1982, Neyrfor introduced the first steerable drilling
system, a steerable turbodrill using offset stabilizers to control
both hole direction and inclination. In 1992, Neyrfor continued
its role as directional innovator when the first turbodrill with an
adjustable bent housing was introduced. Turbodrill Rotor/Stator Pair
Another Neyrfor “first” was the introduction of synthetic diamond bearings in a turbodrill, an
innovation that was instrumental in greatly extending the operating life and reliability of turbodrills
- particularly in deep, hot-hole applications. And throughout its history, Neyrfor has continued to
make advances in power section design to further increase power output, improve energy
efficiency and achieve higher reliability.
In August 2002, Neyrfor became part of Smith International, Inc. With the increasing importance of
matching the downhole power characteristics to the drill bit, Smith Neyrfor is now well positioned to
leverage the global capabilities of Smith to continue its tradition of innovation and the growth of
turbodrilling to an ever-expanding range of applications and formation types.
The Turbodrilling Advantage

Smith Neyrfor Turbodrills vs. PDMs
Both turbodrills and positive displacement motors convert hydraulic energy provided by the drilling
rig's mud pumps to mechanical energy in the form of rotation and torque directly at the drill bit.
Both can be configured for directional applications, where the tool must be steerable, or straight-
hole drilling where supplemental power to improve drilling efficiency is the primary objective.
Energy Efficiency: As an energy conversion device, turbodrills and PDMs provide more power to
the bit when they are more efficient. Because of the nature of the free-running, balanced design of
a turbodrill, it is far more efficient than a PDM, which creates more internal friction and wastes
energy due to its unbalanced, eccentric design.
53
Turbodrilling
Power Output: Superior energy efficiency of the Relative Power Output: Turbodrill vs. PDM
turbodrill translates directly into more power available
at the bit to destroy the rock faster for higher rates of
Output Power
penetration. And, because the power output of a
turbodrill does not deteriorate over time, the turbodrill
maintains its uniformly high power output. As the
elastomer stator in a PDM wears, "leakage" through the
PDM
tool increases, and the power output of the PDM
Turbodrill
degrades continuously throughout the run.

Turbodrilling
HTHP Capability: Because a turbodrill has no elastomeric material in the power section, tool performance is
exceptional even when run at high temperatures and pressures. The use of elastomers in a PDM's power section
often results in rapid wear and down-hole tool failure
because the physical properties of rubber compounds
degrade at higher temperatures. PDMs can be designed
with reduced elastomers but cannot eliminate it
entirely; hence, the weakness remains.
Directional Capability:
For any given bent sub angle, turbodrills have been shown to provide greater directional responsiveness and thus
can deliver a higher DLS when it is necessary to achieve directional objectives or can achieve normal
requirements with a lesser bend. Also, turbodrills operate with much less fluctuating and reactive torque than
PDMs making it much easier to control and predict the toolface and resultant directional response.
Underbalanced Drilling Capability: Turbodrills can

operate effectively in applications where two-phase drilling fluid
is used versus PDMs, which require a liquid mud to operate.
Borehole Quality: Turbodrills consistently deliver a smooth

and concentric wellbore. With the superior toolface control and
high degree of stabilization on the turbodrill, hole spiraling and
severe localized doglegs are minimized. The result is trouble-
free running of casing and a reduction in cementing costs
because of the superior quality of the wellbore.
Operating Cost: The ultimate advantage of a turbodrill is the PDC Bearing Assembly
tool's ability to consistently deliver a lower cost-per-foot drilled
versus a PDM. Increasingly, the higher cost per hour of the more
robust, high performance turbodrill is far surpassed by the direct savings in drilling time and the substantial
reduction in tripping time due to higher tool reliability and longer bit life.
Smith's extensive capabilities in advanced materials technology, substantial drilling applications expertise,
ability to model the total drilling process and leadership position in drill bit design will ensure that Smith Neyrfor
will achieve a future of technical leadership for many years to come.

Smith Borehole Enlargement
SBE
Smith Borehole Enlargement combines leading technologies and products
Smith Services and Smith Technologies have combined their wellbore enlargement products and technical
capabilities into a new operating group, Smith Borehole Enlargement (SBE). SBE unites Smith Services' leading
wellbore enlargement technologies, including Rhino® Reamer and Reamaster®, with Smith Technologies'
innovative drilling products and design simulation systems such as Quad-D™ bi-center bits and
IDEAS modeling technology.
SBE will ensure the delivery of high quality wellbores through its unique combination of
knowledge, experience and worldwide resources. Smith Borehole Enlargement offers a
breadth of tools and engineering know-how that will ensure a superior wellbore in any
application.
Rhino® XS Reamer enlarges existing or pilot wellbores

The hydraulically operated Rhino XS Reamer is an expandable, concentric reaming tool to
enlarge wellbore diameters up to 25% for improved casing running and cementing clearance.
The tool is effective in a variety of formations where simultaneous drilling and hole enlargement
reliability is critical. The enlargement operations can be run with directional drilling assemblies
in tight-tolerance casing designs, and the tool is compatible with all types of rotary steerable
systems.
The tool body houses three equally-spaced cutter blocks with PDC inserts to provide a durable
cutting structure for both drilling and backreaming. The cutter blocks feature integral stabilizer
pads that limit side cutting action to achieve good hole wall quality.
Rhino XS Reamer features a one-piece cutter block/extension mechanism for increased

durability. This one-piece body design increases torque and load carrying capacity, and the
balanced mass design eliminates detrimental vibrations while drilling.
An integrated cutter block lock-up system prevents cutter block actuation during shoe track
drill-out. The cutter blocks deploy simultaneously to produce a concentric, full gauge, high
quality wellbore. Pressure indicators at the surface signal full cutter block deployment while the
cutter blocks collapse when the pumps are off.
Field-changeable nozzles travel with the cutter blocks to ensure optimum cleaning at every
opening diameter. The tool's large bore accommodates high volume fluid requirements with
optimized fluid distribution between bit and cutter blocks. This high fluid capability also
accommodates the fluid requirements of rotary steerable systems and directional assemblies.
57
SBE
Rhino® SS - Stabilization System (RSS)
When well profiles and modern drillstrings both become more complex, reducing drillstring vibration becomes an
important factor in building a quality wellbore. Vibration shortens the life of drill bits and reamers and reduces the
life of MWD, LWD and rotary steerable systems. In severe cases, drillstring vibration can even lead to the BHA
being lost in the hole, requiring significant investments of time and money to remediate.
As the industry leader, Smith Borehole Enlargement has developed the Rhino Stabilization System to reduce
drillstring vibration in demanding borehole enlargement operations. The RSS utilizes an abrasion-resistant
stabilizer block, deployed with the proven "Z Drive" system used on the Rhino XS reamer. When run above the
Rhino XS, the Rhino Stabilizer provides concentric, stable points of contact in the enlarged hole section, which
improves drilling efficiency and performance by significantly reducing drillstring vibration.
The Rhino Stabilization System is an integrated configuration consisting of the Rhino XS Reamer and the Rhino
Stabilizer.
! Concentric stabilizer increases lateral support in the enlarged wellbore.
! The introduction of the stabilizer improves dynamic stability.
! Stabilizer activation method is double ball drop, the same as the Rhino XS Reamer.
! Use of diamond enhanced inserts in the stabilizer blocks provides superior wear resistance.
! Configuration is typically run undergauge and 30 feet above the Rhino XS Reamer.

SBE
IDEAS technology optimizes the performance of the entire drilling assembly
The Integrated Dynamic Engineering Analysis System originated with Smith Bits as a design platform to improve
the bit design process. This model has now been expanded to allow the analysis of the entire drillstring and each of
its components. Reamers, stabilizers, hole openers, MWD/LWD and any
other component of the BHA can be modeled to predict its behavior in the
drillstring. The first application of this technology for SBE is designing the
new Rhino XS cutter blocks. Using the power of the IDEAS software, these
cutting structure designs can now be tailored to specific applications and will
provide the customer with significant increases in reamer performance.
Operators can be confident obtaining superior performance from the
customized reamer cutting structures and know that the reamer will be
optimized for performance with the rest of the BHA components, as well as
the drill bit.
Reamaster® for underreaming in all drilling environments

The Reamaster underreamer is used to enlarge the wellbore size below a restriction, when
drilling wells with minimum clearance and expandable casing programs. The tool is also
applicable in wells where gravel packs are to be installed as well as expandable sand screen
completions.
The tool reduces an operator's drilling costs since it is designed to underream long intervals at
increased penetration rates. It permits a slimmer top-hole for a given diameter production
zone, or a larger-than-standard production zone for a given hole size. Since the activation of
the tool is controlled from surface, the Reamaster's capability of drilling-while-underreaming
allows the operator to underream without tripping out of the hole. The result is improved
drilling economics when selective sections of the wellbore require enlargement.
Reamaster is designed with two large, forged one-piece cutter arms with an integral journal to
retain the cutters and results in an increased cross sectional area at the underreamer cutter
pockets. This change in the fundamental design allows the tools to carry up to 60,000 lbs of
drilling weight, enabling the tool to spend more time on bottom, handle bigger shocks and more
torque, and significantly increase penetration rates compared with competitors’
underreamers. This design also provides more room for larger sealed bearing and PDC cutters
for optimized underreaming performance.
Smith Bits designed and developed cone-type cutters specifically for underreaming that
includes sealed bearings for extended bit life. The cutters produce a true rolling motion that
significantly increases performance and cutter life. Additionally, the cutting structure is
designed to match different formations, and can be provided with milled teeth, TCI or PDC
cutting structures.

QUAD-D
Dual Diameter Drift & Drill - Reamer & GeoReamTM Products
The versatility of QUAD-D products is best demonstrated by the range of applications that they drill. The GeoReam
is well suited to be run directly above the pilot bit for directional applications. It is the recommended alternative to
the QUAD-D bit in applications in which a PDC cutting structure is not the best option for the pilot bit. Although
compact in length, the stability-enhancing technology used in the GeoReam ensures optimal hole quality while
drilling. With longer pilot conditioning sections and drill string connections, QUAD-D Reamers are designed to
maximize performance in rotary applications. The longer pilot conditioning section acts like a string stabilizer to
ensure centralization and stabilization. This tool is intended to be run with various BHA configurations, including
rotary steerable systems.

SHO
Staged Hole Openers
Concentric Staged Hole Openers (SHO) from Smith Bits have been developed from a tradition of application
knowledge and technical excellence gained from the success of QUAD-D reaming products.
SHO tools incorporate precision-engineered cutting structures to ensure fast, smoothly drilled and high quality
hole opening under a wide range of application conditions. SHO tools are run successfully on rotary and rotary
steerable assemblies in both straight and deviated holes.
While the overall SHO cutting structure is balanced, it is divided into sections, each
serving a specific purpose.
Stage One - Pilot Bit

! Using either a fixed cutter or roller cone bit, the pilot drills the initial hole
diameter. A bull nose can also be used to follow a pre-drilled pilot hole.
! SHO assemblies can be used with multiple pilot configurations for specific
applications.
! SHO can be placed in either a near-bit position or within the BHA for various
drill string configurations.
Stage Two - SHO Pilot Section
! The pilot section consists of one or two rows of cutting structure to recondition
the pilot hole and remove any swelling clays or moving halites.
! Gauge pads provide initial stabilization as the SHO begins the staged reaming
process to reduce stick-slip, whirling or off-center tendencies.
Stage Three - SHO Pilot Conditioning Section (PCS)
! Cutting structure is designed to minimize work rates on each cutter position for
maximum durability. By stress relieving the formation with this intermediate
stage, larger hole drilling can be done at a more aggressive penetration rate.
! The third stage re-centralizes the SHO on the given well trajectory in both
vertical and directional applications.
! Gauge pads and gauge trimmers provide the main stabilization for the SHO.
! Gauge pad lengths in the section may vary depending on whether the
application calls for a near bit or drill string placement.
Stage Four - SHO Reaming Section
! This cutting structure completes the final hole diameter. With the formation
already stress-relieved, the reaming section remains aggressive even in more
competent formations.
! Gauge trimmers and spiraled gauge pads ensure good hole quality.
8-1/2” x 12-1/4” ! Gauge pads in this section are kept short in length for directional needs.

IMPAX SMITH PERCUSSION
Percussion Hammers
Impax hammer is designed for oilfield conditions
Smith's Impax hammer features a patented hardened steel guide sleeve design that replaces and eliminates the
blow tube found in conventional hammers. This enhanced design significantly improves reliability and optimizes
energy transfer between the piston and the bit. Blow tubes are typically the component most likely to fail in
conventional hammers. Eliminating the plastic blow tube also increases reliability by eliminating failures due to
high temperature, erosion caused by misting, shock and vibration, and abrasive wear.
The Impax hammer's large lower chamber increases performance in the high back-pressure conditions created by
deep-hole drilling, high circulation volumes and misting and influx. The combination of the hardened steel guide
sleeve and the larger chamber provide the Impax hammer with the ability to handle more water from mist and/or
influx than conventional hammers. The Impax hammer handles 10%-20% more water volume than conventional
hammers, saving the operator a trip when the water incursion would cause a conventional hammer to be tripped
out of the well.
Smith’s Impax hammers and Impax drill bits are a winning combination for superior reliability, durability and
performance.

Impax & DIGR Percussion Bits
Impax bits provide fast ROP and exceptional durability
The Impax line of premium percussion bits offers the customer an

exceptional combination of reliability, durability and performance.
Impax bits feature 100% tough and durable diamond enhanced
inserts that increase footage drilled and lower cost per foot. The PD
gauge feature eliminates the need for reaming, improving the life of
the subsequent bit and providing a quality wellbore for running
casing. Three exhaust ports optimize bit-face cleaning for longer life
and better penetration rates, and the bit's concave center optimizes
directional control.
Impax bits feature industry's most reliable retention

system
When encountering hard rock formations that require the use of a
percussion hammer, Smith Bits' Impax line of bits offers the
industry's most reliable retention system. The patented retaining
system prevents the loss of the bit head in the hole, saving the
operator the cost of expensive fishing operations associated with
recovering material from the wellbore. Reducing the risk of losing
the bit also reduces the risk of having to drill a sidetrack.
DIGR™ Bits (Diamond In Gauge Row)

The DIGR (Diamond In Gauge Row) line of hammer bits is the cost-
effective choice for drilling applications that do not require cutting
structures with 100% diamond enhanced inserts.
These bits offer a full range of cutting structure layout options, but
use diamond enhanced inserts (DEI) only in the gauge row. DIGR
bits provide excellent ROP and durability in less demanding
formations that do not require the cutting structure to have 100%
DEI in order to meet performance objectives.
DIGR bits also utilize the same industry leading retention system as
the IMPAX products.

6-5/8” API PIN RESTRICTOR NOZZLE
The pin restrictor nozzle is used in special applications for mud motors that require high bit pressure drops (650 - 850
psi) during operation. Pin restrictors are designed to split the total bit pressure drop between a nozzle in the pin and the
bit jet nozzles. Installing a pin restrictor allows larger nozzles to be installed in the bit face reducing the jet nozzle
velocity and bit body erosion.
Pin restrictors are installed in the pin of the bit and require a modified pin for installation. The modification can be made
on the bit when first built, or it can be retrofitted after the bit is manufactured. Two sleeves are designed to fit into the
modified pin. A nozzle sleeve can be installed when a pin restrictor is required as shown in Figure 8. A blank sleeve can
be installed when no pin restrictor is required as shown in Figure 9.
Pin restrictors do not run as efficiently as standard jet nozzles. An Excel spreadsheet has been developed to aid in the
selection of the pin restrictor and outer nozzle sizes. Contact your Smith Bits representative for the spreadsheet prior
to running a pin restrictor nozzle in a bit.

102 SERIES MULTISTAGE DIFFUSER NOZZLE RETENTION SYSTEM
The multi-stage nozzle has an upper stage restrictor nozzle which controls the flow of the fluid through the nozzle and a
lower multi-orifice stage that distributes the flow onto the upper sections of the cones. The restrictor nozzle is
generally sized smaller than the diffuser nozzle. Typically the lower ports are oriented in the center jet so that the fluid
impinges on the top dead center of the cone. This method has been shown to provide superior cone cleaning as
compared to the standard center jet without any detrimental cone shell erosion. At the current time, Multistage
Diffusers are only available for bits with 100 series center jets. This is a standard center jet size for bits 16” and larger
but bits down to 9 ½” can be retrofitted with the 100 series center jet system.
