The Brushy Canyon is a well-known troublesome formation in Southeastern New Mexico that consists mainly of sandstone but contains some limestone lenses and thin beds of shale and chert. The inconsistency of drilling in this “ratty” formation leads to many drilling problems. The formation top is typically located at 7,000-8,000 ft. TVD and has a thickness of about 1,000 ft.
August 2018, Fort Worth, Texas — Ulterra Drilling Technologies (Ulterra.com) recently introduced its XP line of extreme-performance PDC bits. These bits are designed to provide improved results in the toughest drilling applications, including hard rock, transition zones and highly interbedded lithologies.
Ulterra’s Aron Deen and Ben Phillips discuss “how new drill bit technology designed for extreme durability and performance allows operators to increase ROP without sacrificing bit life” in Oilfield Technology’s July issue.
Featured in the June issue of Hart’s E&P, Ulterra discusses how new bit designs are pushing drilling boundaries. Over the past year, Ulterra has looked critically at bit design, blade geometry, cutter reinforcement and hydraulics and has been testing new materials, which has resulted in its XP™ line of polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) bits. With the increased energy going through the bit, it is Ulterra’s goal to make sure the bits do not become the limiting factor in performance.
Featured in the April issue of American Oil & Gas Reporter, Ulterra discusses upcoming XP™ drill bits and how they are designed to endure high pump pressure, weight on bit, and torque.
