The award-winning Hughes Christensen Kymera hybrid bit by Baker
Hughes combines PDC and roller cone bit technology for smoother
drilling, remarkable torque management, and precise steerability.
Leveraging the cutting superiority of PDCs in soft formations and
the rock-crushing strength and stability of roller cones in hard or
interbedded formations, the hybrid bit has the potential to
maintain higher overall rate of penetration (ROP) for more footage
than a roller cone or PDC could individually.
A superior directional bit for motor and rotary applications, the
Kymera hybrid bit provides increased buildup rate capabilities,
dampened torque response, and precise steerability on a variety of
bottomhole assemblies.
The Kymera hybrid bit is improving drilling rates in tough
applications worldwide. Within the U.S., it is successfully
drilling interbedded and chert applications with single bit run
lengths extended by more than 200%. In Brazil, it drilled 90%
faster and 20% farther than offset bit performances.
And in Iceland geothermal wells, it has proven to drill basalt
sections more than twice as fast as premium roller-cone bits.
Applications:
1. Hard and interbedded formations
2. Chert drilling
3. Directional drilling
4. Wells experiencing torque or vibrationrelated issues
Features and Benefits:
1. Rolling torque management with dual action cutting structures
A. Increases ROP potential
B. Reduces weight-on-bit requirements
C. Better directional control, lower and more consistent drilling
torque
D. Reduces torsional vibration and axial vibration
2. Balanced downhole dynamics
A. Enhances stability, bit life, and drilling efficiency
3. Advanced roller cone bearing and seal package
A. Maximum seal reliability and longer bit life
