Benny the Bit, A Winners Tournament is a 2019 children’s picture book created in-house at Ulterra. Originally released and created for Ulterra’s Family Fun Day, Benny the Bit, A Winners Tournament, illustrates the competitive nature of the drilling industry and the notion that there’s a team behind every win.

The drilling industry has relied too long on comparative experience and “gut instinct” when assessing new products and technologies and how they affect drilling performance. This is a problematic approach because applications vary wildly, even on the same pad or location, and no two wells are ever really drilled in the same way.
Manti Tarka Permian (MTP) set a new standard for drilling in the Permian Basin while drilling in Ward County, Texas. MTP is an exploration company that focuses on the development of the Permian Basin’s Southern Delaware Basin. MTP recently teamed up with Ulterra while targeting a Bone Springs well.
In the Marvel Universe, Thanos takes the lead as the most powerful character whose main objective was to bring stability to the entire universe. In the oil and gas industry, Ulterra takes the lead on designing drill bits to help operators achieve their drilling objective; whether that is to bring stability, speed, or durability to their drilling operation.
DET Consulting recently required a surface bit for their drilling operation targeting the Austin Chalk formation in Wilson County, Texas. Partnering with Ulterra, DET Consulting drilled 3,895 ft. at an impressive ROP of 556 ft/hr to set the fastest ever 12.25″ surface hole drilled in this county.

One of the biggest challenges facing the drilling industry is interfacial severity, or transitional drilling. This is broadly defined as layers of rock with different hardness that require the bit to drill through the transition, putting cutting forces on different parts of the profile. The imbalance of force concentration can induce vibration or even cause cutter overload, both of which lead to severe cutting structure damage.
In the southern Delaware Basin, operators are faced with the challenge of drilling through transitional formations in the intermediate sections. While drilling the horizontals, laminated sections are often encountered, bringing unexpected challenges from well to well.
