HIGH ENERGY™

Steel Teeth and Tungsten Carbide

Insert(TCI) Drill Bits
Our HIGH ENERGY drill bit series is capable of
increasing drilling performance by effectively
utilizing maximum operating parameters. With the
latest bearing technology and cutting structure
design HIGH ENERGY drill bits deliver faster pen-
etration rates, more footage drilled, and superior
reliability in many applications. Patented bearing
components and application specific features
provide confidence in directional drilling applica-
tions while providing assurance in straight hole
applications. HIGH ENERGY products are available
in both steel teeth and tungsten carbide insert drill
bits from 7” to 13 3/4” diameter.

Application
• Vertical, directional, horizontal, and tangent
wells.
• Soft to medium formations for steel teeth bits.
• Soft to hard formations for TCI bits.
• For all rotary and motor applications.

Features / Benefits
• Optimized cutting structures - eliminates
tracking and increases ROP.
• Patented bearing seal package - improves
bearing life for longer drilling time.
• Advanced synthetic bearing grease is thermally
stable providing high lubricity to lengthen
bearing life.
• Shirttail Protection - TCIs along the leading
edge, around the shirttail, and near the com-
pensator provide extra protection for increased
life.
• Edgeguard tungsten carbide pucks aligned
along the shirttail edge can be added to protect
against abrasive applications.
