Introducing Varel's NEW, A-FORCE™ "Air PDC" Drill Bit series; our Air PDC products are designed specifically for drilling on air or mist in an underbalanced environment. Our proprietary technology caters to operators and service companies' expectation for speed, durability, steerability and increased bit longevity. A-FORCE Air PDC's effectively drill vertical, tangent, and curve sections without the loss of performance in transitioning to various sections of the wellbore. The A-FORCE design introduces a unique airflow control feature, effectively cooling the bit and lifts cuttings out of the wellbore without the conventional use of liquids. The result for operators is faster drilling and improved ROP, while helping eliminate lost circulation problems.
