2006 Drill Bit

Classifier
World Oil offers this comprehensive listing of major manufacturers’ World Oil
drilling bits to aid drilling supervisors and engineers in field selection. F – Face discharge ports Q – Lateral nozzles
While this listing has been published annually for many years, changes I – Thermally stable synthetic diamond R – Radial flow hydraulics
from year to year are significant. Prior to ordering, users should consult (TSP) RST – Rotary steerable
K – Cross-flow hydraulics U – Cutter density: light (l), medium (m),
the manufacturer to verify availability and specifications. N – Turbine drilling heavy (h), e.g., Ul, Um, Uh
O – Milling applications V – Anti-whirl characteristics.
How to use the tables. The following tables are divided into six forma- P – Percussion drilling
tion categories. Within these categories are listed most available drill-
ing/coring bits by type and manufacturer. To use the listings, identify the Companies included. Company names, as shown in the bit type listings,
formation to be drilled, decide which bit type is appropriate, i.e., roller were shortened to conserve space. Full names and a central mailing address
cone, fixed cutter, steel tooth, insert, diamond, etc., and then choose the are shown below. Readers should note that RBI-Gearhart and PDC Gearhart
manufacturer. Companies were asked to list bit data by: 1) IADC code, have been rebranded under the name Ulterra Drilling.
2) readily available sizes (special sizes are often available on request), 3)
