Xplorer is the result of a systematic engineering effort to improve performance in slim hole applications. These bits have proven themselves in tough slim hole applications around the world, and offer an unmatched combination of speed and durability in a wide range of formations.
FEATURES:
- Spinodal 2 bearing with silver plated components ensures longer runs at higher ROP. This proprietary material offers maximum wear resistance and withstands extreme load forces for longer periods than conventional bearing materials.
- The VRamp seal's unique design distributes contact pressure over a wider contact area ensuring a more consistent track on the bit leg. This results in extended seal life which allows the bit to stay in the hole longer and drill more footage.
- Chisel shaped inserts maximize ROP in medium strength shales, limestones and sandstones, and provide optimum ROP performance in mud up conditions.
- The proprietary geometry of the relieved gauge chisel insert incorporates an aggressive leading edge that efficiently cuts gauge and a generously contoured, relieved trailing side that mitigates the tensile stresses that can lead to gauge breakage in standard gauge inserts. The result is a more durable cutting structure, a full gauge hole, and extended bit life.
- Diamond enhanced heel inserts maintain gauge in abrasive, hard formation drilling and significantly increase cone durability. This feature extends bit life and ensures that a full gauge hole is drilled.
- The PS feature offers strategically placed clusters of semi roundtop (SRT) shaped carbide inserts that maximize leg protection, prevent bit wear, and substantially increase bit life in abrasive formations.
