Background

Taas-Yuryakh Neftegazodobycha (TYUNGD) wanted to minimize torque and increase drilling efficiency through dolomites and limestone with anhydrates, shale, and salts. Conventional bits generated high torque, causing stalling and pressure spikes. TYUNGD was unable to apply enough WOB to reach desired ROP.
