Kymera Mach 4

• Make fewer trips with the most durable hybrid bit on the market • Minimize lateral, axial, and torsional vibrations • Improve speed and durability without sacrifice to stability • Enhance ROP by up to 25% over previous hybrid bit designs • Maximize performance by drilling multiple sections in one hybrid bit run The drilling industry has enjoyed the benefits of hybrid drill bits for nearly 10 years. Pairing the fixed blades of a polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) bit with the roller cones of a tricone bit, hybrid bits crush the rock and then sheer it away, minimizing downhole vibrations. Operators require faster drilling speeds and better performance, demanding a new offering of hybrid bit technology. The Kymera™ Mach 4 hybrid drill bit extends drilling lengths from typical curve sections to handle all sections of the well-saving trips and replacing both roller cone and PDC bit runs. Baker Hughes, a GE Company (BHGE), is the expert in hybrid drill bit technology. The Kymera Mach 4 drill bit extends performance, digging beyond the curve. Hybrid design optimization package With BHGE’s hybrid design history, the hybrid design optimization package features precision balanced blade count and cone optimization resulting in a proven performance step-change. • Increased blade counts improve lateral stability while making the bit more aggressive to stand up to wear and tear • Recessed cutters work in tandem with reinforced shoulder improving durability to keep the bit engaged and extend distance drilled • Sharp and dense cone sets further allow improved rates of penetration (ROP) • Cutter selection options include Dynamus™ extended life drill bit cutters, StayTrue™ diamond element cutters, and Stabilis™ cutters specifically selected to handle increased loads of challenging drilling environments to improve drilling speed and efficiency.
