Project Overview
Project Overview
Ulterra Bits contracted PT. Wanatirta Nusantara to perform TSP Insert application on new PDC bit bodies prior to initial deployment. This proactive hardsurfacing approach significantly extends gauge life in abrasive formations.
Services Applied
- Stop Off application to protect cutter seats
- TSP Insert placement and tack-welding on gage pads
- Hard surfacing of blank bit body using Technogenia method
- Quality inspection and dimensional verification
Outcome
The enhanced bits demonstrated measurably improved gauge retention during field deployment compared to standard configurations.
