PDC Standard Bits | PARKER COTTE

PDC Stranded Bits

PC- Standard PDC Product line

Specifically designed to improve drilling economics

SMART™ Software

SMART™ proprietary design tool and CFD software enable the designer to utilize the heavy

diamond coverage and crown configuration of the PC product line to maximize

stability and bit cleaning while drilling interbedded, hard and abrasive lithologies,

without sacrificing penetration rates.

PC drill bits minimize buildup of cuttings at the bit face in order to improve ROP using

Directional mud flow – – For immediate drilled cuttings removal and bit face cleaning to

enable the sharp cutting edge to meet new uncut enable the sharp cutting edge to meet

new uncut rates and bit life. formation, maximizing penetration rates and bit life

♦3D Cuttings Removal Management-

- Bullet-shaped body – streamlines the bit, making it easier for cuttings to sweep around

the body and into the junk slot.

-Reduced body diameter –increases the distance between the borehole and the bit body

in the junk slot, improving the ability of cuttings to pass through the slots. Greater area

around the body allows the bit to pass over or through a cuttings bed, without blade

packing and nozzle plugging.

-Greater blade height – increases the junk slot area

Using SMART™ and CFD software to enhance bit crown configuration allows drilled cuttings to sweep around the body and into the junk slots.

All PC standard products are equipped with premium cutters (P).

PDC FEATURES

“B” Feature
Backreaming Cutters

Strategic placement cutters on upside of each blade, to allow backreaming in tight spots, reduces the potential of bit sticking while pulling out of the hole

“I” Feature
Insert Control Depth of Cut

Strategic placement cutters on upside of each blade, to allow backreaming in tight spots, reduces the potential of bit sticking while pulling out of the hole

“H” Feature
Higher Numbers of Nozzle than
Standard

Increased cleaning, cooling, and cuttings evacuation with available hydraulic flows, higher flow rates with minimal increase in pump pressure, and reduced risk of bit balling.

“Q” Feature
Fixed Ports

Optimizes hydraulics in applications where the use of nozzles compromises the bit design because of space limitations or other similar reason, provides additional cleaning of the cutting structure.
