(copy the HTML code below): Ulterra Drilling Technologies has unveiled SplitBlade, a PDC bit that it says improves cuttings evacuation as much as 200% faster than conventional bits. In a demonstration in Lavaca County, Texas, an Ulterra SplitBlade drilled an 11,652 ft curve and lateral in under 68 hours, Ulterra said. The new bit, which is made of titanium dioxide (TiO2) and carbon fiber (CF), can be used to drill through the hardest rock or other materials with less energy input compared to traditional bits, according
