NOV launches premium Pegasus series drill bits for large-diameter applications

Featuring a dual-diameter and MaxSteer™ design, high-performance ION+™ cutters, TORC™ depth of cut elements, BitIQ™ smart sensor technology, and Struts™ high-density impreg (HDI) components, the Pegasus fixed-cutter polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) bit enables operators to drill faster, reduce torque generation, and run multiple times without repair.

Pegasus features and benefits:

• Shankless and shorter design to improve stability and steerability
• Robust cutter geometries
• Strong and efficient cutting elements
• No moving parts
• Reduced torque and torsional vibrations
• Reduced mechanical specific energy (MSE) to maximize ROP and borehole quality
• Superior hydraulic and cutter cooling efficiency

"Whether you are drilling large-diameter holes through salts, intermediates through high compression strengths, or slimhole shale applications," said Jennings, "ReedHycalog has the technology to keep operators in the zone and reduce drilling days."
