Description

ReedHycalog has always been at the forefront of drilling innovation, constantly evolving to meet the ever-changing demands of our customers. Now, we are proud to introduce the latest breakthrough in our commitment to providing efficient well construction via drilling excellence – the ReedHycalog™ Evolve product line.

Evolve drill bits will be custom designed for each application deploying only technologies that maximize value for the end user. Evolve will have access to all of ReedHycalog’s industry leading design tools and technologies already deployed in its other product lines, but with exclusive access to additional value adding features.

Maximizing Rate of Penetration

The Evolve line is engineered to push the boundaries of drilling efficiency, achieving unmatched depth of cut in hard and abrasive formations.

  • The patented Eagle-Eye™ ION+™ shaped cutter technology optimizes cutter orientation to improve ROP and drilling efficiency in hard applications.
  • The patent-pending, high-exposure cutters significantly increase the attainable depth of cut.
  • Customized cutting structures, including the Pegasus™ dual-diameter feature and the newly introduced LynX layout, enhance drilling efficiency and push ROP limits.
  • Cyclone™ hydraulics improve cutter cooling and bit face cleaning, enabling longer and faster drilling intervals.

Engineered Durability

Durability is built into every aspect of the Evolve product line, ensuring superior performance in the most demanding environments.

  • Advanced matrix and hard-facing materials extend the bit’s body life, allowing it to withstand harsh drilling conditions.
  • ION+ Intrepid Cutters is a new range of cutter sizes made from the toughest ION+ grades and shapes in the industry, enhancing both efficiency and durability.
  • The wing-blade gauge design improves stability and wellbore quality, enabling consistent performance over extended runs.

Optimized Operational Efficiency

The Evolve drill bit line reduces non-productive time (NPT) and enhances operational efficiency by minimizing unnecessary trips.

  • The Janbiya™ feature streamlines the removal of the casing shoe, reducing the risk of premature cutter damage and eliminating the need for dedicated drill-out runs.
  • Utilizing disruptive cutter innovations and industry-leading bit design has extended drilling intervals and significantly reduced well construction costs in the most challenging drilling environments.

Data-Driven Performance Enhancements

Evolve is backed by cutting-edge software solutions to optimize bit performance.

  • Atlas™ provides an interactive drill bit design evolution map to track and refine performance improvements.
  • Prograde™ utilizes AI-powered automated dull grading to enhance data-driven performance optimization.

Proven Results

Evolve bits have set ROP and footage records worldwide, saving days in NPT, outperforming incumbent hybrid drill bits, and excelling in highly abrasive lateral sections and larger hole sizes.

By understanding operator challenges and delivering high-performance, tailored solutions, the Evolve product line redefines drilling excellence. Backed by decades of expertise in cutter technology and drilling innovation, Evolve helps operators overcome their toughest drilling obstacles with confidence.
