Kinetic

Diamond-impregnated drill bits

Designed for hard, abrasive formations, Kinetic diamond-impregnated drill bits use application-specific materials to withstand the most rigorous drilling conditions. They are capable of drilling out float equipment and are also effective when softer formation is encountered. To optimize durability and ROP, these bits are built with

• grit hot pressured inserts
• polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) cutters
• thermally stable polycrystalline diamonds
• diamond-impregnated matrix materials.

Engineered hydraulics

Kinetic bits used a combination of central flow fluid distribution and specifically placed ports to enhance bit cooling and cleaning. This feature is especially important when bits are used in softer formations. Kinetic hydraulics make possible effective drilling of mixed lithologies at high ROPs. They also reduce the need to trip to change bit type.
