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.

According to Childhood Cancer Canada (CCC), more than 10 thousand children in Canada are battling cancer. Charity Intelligence Canada states that CCC reported the overall childhood cancer research community reduced childhood cancer mortality by 25% in the past decade, with the help of their contribution to research.
An operator in Egypt recently partnered with Ulterra to drill their longest interval in the Meleiha West Deep field. While encountering the lower Alam El Bueib (AEB) formation, the formation transitions into highly interbedded lithology containing high abrasive sandstone and siltstone. Typical performance in this field requires at least two bits to drill the interval, especially due to challenges faced in the AEB formation.
