Drilling towards the future
NOV’s ReedHycalog Pegasus drill bit technology incorporates multiple novel and patented technologies to match the performance of hybrid and roller cone bits, but with significantly enhanced ROP.
The design reduces the blade count required to drill challenging formations compared to single-diameter PDC cutter bits which maximises the ROP in existing fixed cutter applications. The Pegasus dual diameter drill bit represents a seismic shift in drilling efficiency for hard rock, geothermal, and vibration-prone applications, and operators can anticipate drilling challenging intervals with fewer trips, elevated ROP, and minimised vibration-induced failures – ultimately leading to minimised drilling costs while expanding the economic window of many marginal reservoirs.
