Fixed Cutter PDC Bits

Longer bit life, improved performance

PDC Bits are suitable for a wide variety of drilling applications, leading to optimized penetration rates, improve steerability, reduce vibration and enhanced toolface control for directional driller

Fixed cutter Polycrystalline Diamond Compact (PDC) drill

bits are an integral part of the driller’s toolkit, yet can still

vary widely in terms of stability, ROP and effectiveness in

soft to hard and abrasive formations. Tercel’s ultra stable

PDC technology allows for longer life in tough formations

and optimum drilling performance across a wide range of

vertical and directional drilling applications.

Orion provides a broad portfolio of fixed cutter bits for all

environments including rotary steerable and steerable

motor applications.

Large diameter bits designed for surface hole and soft

shallow formations, as well as fixed cutter bits for all other

uses.

High spiral design for improved lateral and torsional

stability or cutting structure reinforcement is also

available.

Drill bits are customized according to specific operator

requirements. The results include enhanced stability,

steerability and directional response, delivering optimized

penetration rates, reduced vibration and improved

toolface control.
