In the field, a major operator in the Williston Basin recently deployed Cruzer technology to drill a well's curve in 14 hours. Oilfield service provider Halliburton is releasing the Cruzer, a depth-of-cut rolling drill bit technology aimed at increasing the control of tool faces without losing drill efficiency. The new drilling technology, which was developed by Halliburton, uses an advanced coating process to reduce wear on drill bits and increase their ability to withstand high temperatures. Users of the Halliburton polycrystalline diamond compact drill bits will be able to incorporate the Cruzer technology for lower friction and heat generation.
