Advanced durability and ROP for demanding wells
The RipTide high-performance cutter block is designed for deepwater and complex wells where performance drives economics. Developed in collaboration with Chevron, this patented design delivers enhanced durability and cutting efficiency in challenging drilling conditions.
- Increase rate of penetration in hard and abrasive formations
- Improve efficiency across interbedded formations
- Reduce non-productive time associated with underreamer performance
- Enable longer intervals drilled in a single run
TECHNOLOGY ADVANTAGES
