Torque, thousand ft.lbf ROP, ft/h
ROP rose 27% and surface torque fell 20%
in the Mahler 108-1H well.
CASE STUDY: AxeBlade bit enabled drilling with 20% less torque through interbedded formation
The dull condition of the AxeBlade bit after drilling the Mahler 108-1H well demonstrates that it can be run in a similar application in future wells with the potential to increase WOB
to yield even greater ROP gains.
