DRILLING

For Your Toughest Drilling Challenges

Ulterra’s range of XP bits is designed to meet the most challenging hard-rock applications. We build the XP series on a bit body created to ensure structural integrity under extreme drilling conditions. This level of design enables the bit to withstand challenges that place a higher level of stress on the bit, including greater weight-on-bit (WOB), without sacrificing ROP. XP bits deliver the best possible performance, even in the most difficult drilling environments.

PERFORMANCE

Optimized Performance with the Highest Durability

XP bits are the most durable PDC drill bits on the market, and we build them with the highest-quality design, materials, and manufacturing. To build in top performance, Ulterra focuses on elements such as building the bit body stronger than necessary to keep its structural integrity and positioning the cutters to reduce tangential overload.  

Ulterra optimizes our XP bits for each application and pairs them with the latest application-specific premium PDC cutters. Our rapid design and prototyping process means that we optimize each design quickly, enabling operators to improve drilling performance from well to well. We manufacture and engineer our XP bits to make sure they never limit performance.
