Cutter assemblies had been used on a prior job, accumulating 697,000 revolutions over 58 hours. An additional 1,725,000 revolutions were accumulated during this 123-hour run for a total of 2,423,000 revolutions and 181 hours. The cutter bearings were still in good condition for continued drilling in the hard abrasive sandstone formation.
