Ulterra Drilling Technologies has unveiled Ulterra Drilling Technologies , a PDC bit that it says improves cuttings evacuation as much as 200% faster than conventional bits. In a demonstration in Lavaca County , Lavaca County , an Ulterra SplitBlade drilled an 11,652 ft curve and lateral in under 68 hours , Ulterra Drilling Technologies said. SplitBlade is a solution to cuttings clogging the bit and reduced cutter performance. Design features include "rotated blade shoulder design", which prevents cuttings recirculation, while its high-velocity, focused nozzles increase the maximum hydraulic dispersal rate.
