PDC

DIRECTIONAL

Txd/Tsd Directrac

The Txd/Tsd Series from Taurex is designed to

generate a consistent torque response to
enhance tool face control in directional
environments. The layout, features, and cutters
are customized to deliver high ROP in any
directional application.

SPEEDSET
 SPEEDSET

Txs/Tss Speedset

The Speedset series is designed to maximize

ROP and footage. The series incorporates
optimized cutter layouts and profile that results
in a smooth distribution of torque and work load
from cone to shoulder.

TOU GHSET

Txt/Tst Toughset

The Txt/Tst Toughset series offers improved

durability in difficult drilling environments. This
series leads the charge in hard rock drilling by
stabilizing individual cutting elements and
distributing work across the profile.

Roller Cone
MD Series
 The Motor Drive series are high-speed drill bits used for downhole power drilling tools.
These bits integrate advanced cutting structures and gauge protection technology,
reliable bearing system, and a hydraulic structure designed for greater efficiency in high
speed drilling applications. The combination of these advanced designs decreases the
common problems of conventional bits in directional and horizontal drilling, such as
cone shell erosion, premature bearing failure, and low ROP. MD series bits are the ideal
choice for directional, horizontal, and high temperature drilling.

KEY ADVANTAGES

Bearing System:

Adopting the Floating Bearing Structure. The floating bearing design reduces
the relative linear speed of the bearing couple and decreases temperature rise on
friction surfaces. The floating elements are made of highly elastic materials with
high temperature and abrasion resistance. This design increases bearing life and
reliability in high WOB or high RPM applications.
Implementing the Metal Face Seal (MFS). High precision metal rings are used to
form the bearing axial dynamic seal. Two elastic rubber energizers are separately
located in the head and cone sealing areas to form a static seal. This type of seal
reduces the friction force on the sealing surfaces by 70% to 80%. With the
reduction of the friction heat and friction force, compared with the conventional
rubber seal bits, the average working life (total drilling hours) can be increased by
35%. *Note: MD Series Bits are also available with the O-ring sealing system in
place of the Metal Face Seal.

Cutting Structure:

Secondary Cutter Technology. Secondary cutter technology is the addition of a

 Secondary Cutter Technology. Secondary cutter technology is the addition of a
secondary row of cutters between primary rows of cutters, forming a special cutting
structure with twin bottom hole break lines. This design significantly reduces cone
shell erosion in directional and horizontal applications.
Compact Technology. By examining the protrusion, tungsten grade, and overall
shape of the compacts, the JZ engineers have designed the MD Series Bits with
compacts that are optimal for high ROP in soft to medium hard formations. This
design also effectively prevents cutter breakage in transitional zones.

Gauge Protection:

MD Series Bits come with an enhanced gauge protection package. The

hardfacing on the shirttail is reinforced and covers a larger area for better
protection of the sealing area. Compacts are fitted in shanks with a certain
exposure to reduce wear on bit head and grease reservoir area. In addition, the
gauge protection is reinforced by utilizing double rows of buttons on the gauge
rows of the cone.

Note: MD Series Bits can be equipped with PDC cutters in heel row, gauge row, and head OD when used for
drilling more abrasive formations.

HF Series

The Hard Formation Series is designed specifically for hard rock drilling applications.
These bits incorporate advanced cutting structures, gauge protection, and material
technology all specifically designed for hard rock drilling. These design features reduce
problems associated with hard formation drilling such as well bore diameter reduction,
low ROP, and cone shell erosion.

KEY ADVANTAGES

Cutting Structure:

The cutting structure of the HF Series is designed with computer simulation on the basis
of large quantities of hard rock drilling tests on a drilling simulator as well as failure
analysis of field tests in various hard rock formations. Superior material used for the
cutting elements improves wear resistance and impact resistance. The design equalizes
the load of each compact and maximizes the cutting action of each compact.

Bearing System:

HF Series Bits are designed with a journal bearing for higher weight on bit applications.
Bearing capacity and anti-galling capability are both improved by applying hardfacing
on head bearing surface and silver-plating on cone bearing surface. The seal design can
be either the standard O-ring seal or the metal face seal for higher RPM applications.

Gauge Protection:

HF Series Bits come with an enhanced gauge protection package. The hardfacing on
the shirttail is reinforced and covers a larger area for better protection of the sealing
area. Compacts are fitted in shanks with a certain exposure to reduce wear on bit head
and grease reservoir area. In addition, the gauge protection is reinforced by utilizing
double rows of buttons on the gauge rows of the cone.

HF Series bits can be equipped with PDC cutters in heel row, gauge row, and head OD when used for drilling
more abrasive formations..

Roller Cone Standard Series

 HA Series

BEARING TYPE: JOURNAL BEARING

SEAL TYPE: RUBBER O-RING SEALED

The HA Series bits can endure comparatively high bit weight under normal rotary
speeds. The O-ring seal is made of wear resistance high saturated buna-N. The
increased seal section and added sealing flange in the cone sealing area increase the
reliability of the seal.
 HJ Series

BEARING TYPE: JOURNAL BEARING

SEAL TYPE: METAL FACE SEALED

The HJ Series bits use metal face seal (MFS) — the most advanced sealing technology in
the world. This series of bit can perform consistently in high speed drilling applications,
and is the ideal tool for horizontal and directional drilling. High precision metal rings are
used to form the bearing axial dynamic seal. Two elastic rubber energizers are separately
located in the head and cone sealing areas to form a static seal. This type of seal reduces
the friction force on the sealing surfaces by 70% – 80%. With the reduction of the
friction heat and friction force, compared with the conventional rubber seal bits, the
average working life (total drilling hours) can be increased by 35%.
 GA Series

BEARING TYPE: ROLLER BEARING

SEAL TYPE: RUBBER O-RING SEALED

GA Series bits are an economical tool for high RPM drilling applications. The roller
sealed bearing structure, with the roller groove recessed into the cone, increases the
size of journal, which can bear high WOB and accommodate high RPM drilling. Thrust
bearing couple surfaces are treated with anti-friction and hardening processes, which
increase both the loading capacity and the seizure resistance.
 GJ Series

BEARING TYPE: ROLLER BEARING

SEAL TYPE: METAL FACE SEALED

This GJ Series bits use metal face seal (MFS) – the most advanced sealing technology in
the world. These bits can perform consistently in high speed drilling applications.
High precision metal rings are used to form the bearing axial dynamic seal. Two elastic
rubber energizers are separately located in the head and cone sealing areas to form a
static seal. This type of seal reduces the friction force on the sealing surfaces 70% – 80%.
With the reduction of the friction heat and friction force, these GJ bits have excellent
features applicable to high RPM drilling. Compared with the conventional rubber seal
bits, the number of total drilling hours can be increased by 35%. The position of the
rollers in the recesses of the cone ID enlarge the bearing and roller size and reduce the
sealing diameter. This decreases the rotary speed and friction heat of the sealing
surfaces and improves the loading capacity of the bearing.
 W Series

BEARING TYPE: ROLLER BEARING

SEAL TYPE: NON-SEALED

The W Series bits are an economical tool for high RPM drilling as well as geothermal
drilling applications. W series bits have the following types of bearing structures: roller-
ball-roller-thrust for bits larger than 12-1/4″, and roller-ball-journal pilot pin-thrust for
bits smaller than 12-1/4." With the non-sealed bearing, the drilling fluid can go directly
into the bearing cavity to cool the bearing, which is ideal for geothermal drilling.
