Conventional vertical wells offer numerous drilling challenges from efficient cuttings removal in fast drilling, soft formations to frequent trips in slow drilling, hard and interbedded formations. The FX Series™ drill bits are custom designed to meet these challenges and deliver consistently high performance in the most demanding drilling environments.X3 Series™ cutter technology provides more footage drilled at higher rates of penetration because the cutter stays sharper longer and wears slower. Impact damage is minimized with secondary cutting elements and impact arrestors when drilling interbedded formations.

Drill Harder Formations Dual row cutters increase the amount of diamond available to drill those hard and abrasive formations without reducing the open face volume of the bit. New diamond compositions increase the impact and abrasion resistance of the X3 Series cutter, resulting in reduced cutter wear and increased footage drilled.

THE BENCHMARK IN CUTTER TECHNOLOGY.Halliburton is the acknowledged leader in advancing diamond cutter technology. The X3 Series™ of cutters provides the industry’s benchmark for cutter durability, integrity and effectiveness, offering a wide variety of cutters for a broad range of bit designs and applications. Bit design options are enhanced as our high performance bits become qualified for more abrasive and harder rock.
APPLICATION-SPECIFIC SOLUTIONS. PROVEN PERFORMANCE.Our industry leadership results from an approach that combines “the science behind the bit” with a unique, customer-directed design process. Each bit is designed for your specific application by an Application Design Evaluation (ADESM) specialist working directly with you. Every design reflects your drilling experience and our design science.
The drill bit design optimization process follows a continuous improvement cycle of “model, measure, optimize” to produce application-specific bit solutions that consistently set new performance standards. As a result, FX drill bits have shattered field records in every single market where they’ve been run.
