The EJECTOR Near-Bit

Higher ROP & Longer Bit life

 The EJECTOR Near-Bit
The Ejector is a Near-bit sub, similar to a standard
NB Tool, but it is designed and engineered for
creating a vacuum effect at the bit formation
interaction face thus expelling the cuttings readily
as they are generated!

The Ejector NB tool also increases the speed of

cuttings traveling up the annulus.

The Obvious and proven Benefits:

Higher ROP & Longer Bit life
06.10.22
 Compatibility with other tools of the BHA

• The EJECTOR tool installed directly above the bit.

• It is applicable to be used with PDC or Tricone bits,

with all drilling Modes “ Rotary Drilling, Mud Motors,
Turbines, RSS …”

• There is NO impact on other BHA parts performance

including directional tools and sensors.

• Guaranteed lifetime is 300 hours. No need to pull out

of hole upon reaching 300 hrs. It can be used for
another 100 hours.

 Advantages of the Ejector
• Increases ROP

• Increases Bit service life

• Tripping Less for bit

replacement

• Prevents bit balling

• Decrease Mud Additives

• Easy to handle
 Principle of operation
The Ejector
•Installed above a bit and RIH as part of
BHA
 When mud flows downward reaching the
Ejector, a small part (20-23 %) of the mud
changes its direction from downward to
upward.
 This action creates negative pressure
zone above the Bit.
 Receiving suction effect (on the bottom
hole below the bit)
Hardening of the wellbore
 Principle of operation
which results in :-
 Makes the rock destroying ability of
bit more effective.
The cuttings are milled and chipped
off easier from the rock.
 The cuttings are carried out faster
from the bits zone. Hence, no more re-
drilling and milling of cuttings.
 The Bit is worn-out less and drills for
longer time.
 Principles of the EJECTOR NB
Two principles were used on
designing the EJECTOR NB and are
responsible for its increased efficiency :
•Energy Loss at the Sudden Expansion
of Fluid Flow in Confined Space
•Intersection of two flows
in conventional Ejectors, the kinetic
energy of the jet is converted into the
potential energy of pressure, which
dramatically reduces their efficiency.
In our EJECTOR tool we use only the
kinetic energy of jetting, and therefore
there is no energy loss.
The EJECTOR’s Operational Limits

 Flow rates as standard NB subs.

 No restrictions on Press. & Temp
 Accepts all mud weights.
 WOB, Torque, Tensile and Compressive
strengths same as standard NB subs.

Mud intake should not contain

solids more than 0.15” in size
 Selection of Bit Nozzles with EJECTOR Runs
(processing of drilling parameters)

DI uses in house created software for selecting bit

nozzles specially for application when the EJECTOR
NB is run. The nozzles sizes are selected based on the
desired drilling parameters which is fed to the software.
We make the software available for use in field
conditions. Of course, the nozzles are selected only for
the bit. The EJECTOR has its own fixed nozzles which
are not changed.
 Features of the EJECTOR
- Totally Compatible with any BHA with any Bit “tricone , PDC”

- Available for any bit’s size

- Could be manufactured for any standard by Customer’s request
- No impact on another tool of the BHA
