Oilfield Technology invited experts from BHGE, ULTERRA, and VAREL to share their knowledge on a variety of drill bit design topics. Ulterra weighed in to share their expertise on a variety of topics.
Air drilling technology is considered to be a cost-effective drilling method for operators – requiring minimal cleanup and disposal of fluid on the surface. Another huge benefit of air drilling is that it’s faster, but operators usually only drill the first 30-40 degrees of the curve on air.
For more than 100 years, World Oil has provided readers with the latest coverage on drilling, exploration, completion, and production of onshore and offshore oil and gas. For the last 17 years, World Oil has honored the upstream industry’s innovators and innovations. This year, World Oil received a record-setting 285 nomination submissions, and Ulterra’s SplitBlade™ technology is a finalist for the Best Drilling Technology Award.

Chris Casad, Ulterra Drilling Technologies L.P., USA, discusses how new drill bit designs enhance cuttings evacuation and improve efficiency.
The push to address a longstanding problem has led to a new development in drill bit design.
The problem relates to the commonly held belief that the poor evacuation of cuttings from drilling operations can significantly limit bit performance, and ultimately the rate of penetration (ROP) – a major concern in drilling operations.

Ulterra Drilling Technologies (Ulterra.com) introduces its latest advancement in PDC bit engineering. The patent-pending SplitBlade™ breakthrough design improves cuttings evacuation as much as 200 percent faster than conventional PDC bits.
Ulterra is pleased to have been featured in a recent Drilling Contractor article regarding emerging technologies and innovations in drill bits.
An essential part of the drilling process is adding force to the drill bit in order to successfully break the rock. Weight on the Bit, or WOB, is the amount of downward force exerted on the drill bit provided by thick-walled tubular pieces in the drilling assembly that are known as drill collars. The downward force of gravity on these steel tubes provide force for the drill bit in order to effectively break the rock.
Ulterra Drilling Technologies has proudly launched SplitBlade™ as the new SPL product line. Ulterra’s objective is to bring attention and focus to all of their differentiating technologies and the value they create to customers. This nomenclature will help further cement Ulterra’s reputation as an industry leader in innovation, new technology, and performance in the field. Also, the nomenclature will help with the easy identification of advanced pdc bit technology.
We love the second chapter of this story and are proud to have played a part in MORE’s efforts to address the global water crisis. This story first appeared on the https://more-water.org site. It’s a great read from the perspective of an Ulterra PDC bit.
