Performance Highlights

  • Total Drilling footage: 2135 meters
  • Pure Drilling Time: 100 hours
  • Average Rate of Penetration (ROP): 21.35 m/h

Key Advantages Demonstrated

1. Exceptional Durability & Wear Resistance

The SD6522 bit maintained stable cutting structure and gauge integrity throughout the entire 2135-meter run in the hard Liujiagou formation, eliminating the need for frequent bit changes and reducing non-productive time (NPT).

2. Industry-Leading ROP

Achieving an average ROP of 21.35 meters per hour significantly outperformed conventional bits in the same formation, accelerating well construction timelines and lowering operational costs.

3. Reliable Performance Under Challenging Conditions

Designed for abrasive formations, the SD6522 delivered consistent performance across variable rock hardness, ensuring smooth drilling operations and minimizing the risk of downhole failures.
