CHALLENGE

The formation of 8.375’ sections are characterized with high rock strength values. Customer aims to drill through the challenging formation to achieve the best possible ROP, maximizing durability and performance. 8.375” Fusion+™ bits are used to drill this section resulting with impressive runs as compared with the offsets.

CUSTOMER VALUE

  • 1st Bit Run, the bit achieved the longest interval of 228m with fastest ROP of 1.13m/h drilling into Formation A & Top of Formation B.

  • 2nd Bit Run – achieved the longest meterage of 129m drilling into Formation A as compared to other offset runs in the field.

  • 3rd Bit Run – achieved the longest interval drilled of 344m with fastest ROP in the field of 3.2m/hr drilling into bottom section of Formation B straight into Formation C till TD.
