Our Vanguard™ Arabia tricone drill bits drill longer distances in the Middle East’s less-abrasive, hard-carbonate formations. These tungsten carbide insert (TCI) drill bits have super-tough carbide grades that minimize breakage from impact damage.

Tricone bit performance can be additionally enhanced through the Drilling Application Review Team (DART™). The DART process, which combines advanced technology, data, and designs, provides individualized solutions to maximize field performance across multiple wells while reducing risk.

The results are a true collaboration, drawing on unique resources, including a comprehensive database that taps our rich history of continual drilling improvements. The process also includes a state-of-the-art drilling laboratory and a full-scale research rig and downhole simulator. This combination of unique resources in a fully collaborative environment permits us to create tricone drill bits and systems that optimize performance, minimize drilling and completion costs while reducing nonproductive time.
