Baker Hughes, a GE company, says it has designed the Dynamus extended-life drill bit to withstand challenging drilling environments. The latest generation of the Dynamus bit is said to incorporate new technologies to improve azimuthal control, enhance the stability of the drill bit, and improve the durability of the cutting structure.

Dynamus AntiWalk drill bit technology, a new anti-walk gauge for conventional motors to improve tracking and reduce slide time, improves hole quality and increases ROP while drilling extended-reach laterals. This benefits operators by reducing drilling time, optimizing wellbore quality, and allowing for greater flexibility in bottomhole assembly design. To enhance stability, the bit design incorporates an optimized blade layout. This helps to minimize load fluctuations, leading to a more durable cutting structure that does not compromise performance. The improved durability of the cutting structure features Optimus ShockWave cutter technology to reduce friction, allowing the bit to drill faster and farther. •
