Company optimizing technology to meet client needs
BlueFire Equipment Corporation (OTCQB: BLFR) announced today its
team of scientists and engineers are working to finalize production
of custom designed proprietary polycrystalline diamond cutter (PDC)
drill bits for its international clients.
Using advanced manufacturing techniques, BlueFire is optimizing
and adapting its leading edge drill bit technology for
international applications.
Chairman and CEO of BlueFire Equipment Corporation William A.
Blackwell said, “BlueFire’s team is customizing its highly
engineered drilling equipment for very deep, high pressure
environments and dense, hard rock formations.” He added, “We are
casting these tungsten carbide PDC bits using our company’s
advanced manufacturing techniques and made-to-order design
specifications. The result is an improved product with the same
cost and time saving attributes as our previous designs.”
Over the course of a drilling program, BlueFire’s technology has
demonstrated the potential to save operators millions of dollars.
As previously announced, the BlueFire PDC bit drilled in excess of
200 feet per hour in the Powder River Basin, demonstrating
excellent performance. BlueFire’s proprietary bit drilled more than
6,000 feet at the Campbell County, Wyoming location.
BlueFire’s exclusive design has the ability to provide higher
rates of penetration (ROP) and longer bit runs in hard rock
formations and shales, representing a breakthrough in drilling
technology. BlueFire bits employ large cutter face volumes for
rapid drilling of shales, sandstones, limestones and sticky clays.
These bits utilize premium PDC cutters for improved ROP and are
designed using directed ports to accelerate cleaning and optimize
cooling. Company findings indicate a decrease of more than 30
percent in temperature on the cutting surfaces, drastically
reducing cutter wear and extending the life of the bit.
Conventional bits use nozzles that eject drilling fluid into the
well bottom resulting in a general application and uneven
distribution at the point of contact. BlueFire’s bit design employs
strategically aligned nozzles to concentrate high-pressure jet
streams directly on the cutting edge, lubricating the interface
between the cutters and the rock formation being drilled.
Furthermore, improved cleaning and scouring action facilitates
removal of cuttings. The result is a bit that runs cleaner and
cooler.
