Ripsaw
A NEW SOLUTION TO ACTIVE TORQUE
RipSaw™ is the ultimate solution for smooth torque through transitional formations and unconventional laterals. RipSaw’s Active Torque Technology™ controls depth of cut and torque fluctuations without limiting ROP.
UN-LIMITING PERFORMANCE
Drilling with a PDC bit requires smooth and consistent engagement to maximize efficiency, reduce dysfunction, and improve performance. In real drilling environments, where down hole conditions are constantly changing, this balance is very hard to achieve.
Rather than simply limiting bit performance with secondary features, Ulterra engineers devised a better way. RipSaw engages changing rock properties and drilling parameters using active torque technology that smooths torque oscillations with the active cutting structure.
WHAT IS ACTIVE TORQUE TECHNOLOGY?
Active torque means that the solution is both active across the drill bit’s entire range of depth of cut and is also part of the active cutting structure. Rather than using passive, secondary elements, RipSaw uses active cutting elements incorporated into the primary cutting structure to deliver a manageable torque response across the entire operating range of the bit.
