Spilt Blade
Ulterra’s SplitBlade® technology solves the problem of poor cuttings evacuation with its unique, split inner blade geometry. By separating the primary blades and placing nozzles at the separation, SplitBlade creates a double barrel hydraulic flow to help evacuate cuttings quicker. This improved cleaning creates better operating conditions for cutters to engage and fracture rock unimpeded, increasing ROP.
- Double Barrel flow improves cuttings evacuation
- 2-in-1 cutter layouts break physics with new opportunities
SplitBlade® is the latest advancement in PDC bit engineering and is designed to provide new levels of performance, durability, and control. By redesigning hydraulics to improve cuttings evacuation and prevent recirculation, this innovative bit design unleashes cutter performance and boosts ROP. Now all available drilling energy is concentrated into the formation to make hole—empowering operators to push the boundaries of performance to the next level. SplitBlade eliminates performance limiters created by slower and inefficient cutting evacuation and keeps cutters clean for faster drilling.
