Baker Hughes Introduces Long-Life PDC Bit to Reduce Trips in High Horsepower Drilling Operations

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Baker Hughes Incorporated (NYSE:BHI) announced today the commercial release of its Dynamus™ extended-life polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) drill bit which can significantly reduce drilling costs by eliminating trips to replace bits or bottomhole assembly (BHA) tools that wear out in high horsepower drilling operations. The Dynamus bit is built on a robust frame that incorporates stabilizing elements to prevent lateral vibrations as well as proprietary cutters engineered to minimize wear. Reducing vibrations not only extends bit life, it also helps extend the life of other BHA tools and deliver smoother drilling performance for improved borehole quality.
