Paper: BAKER HUGHES DRILL BIT - TALSON PRODUCT LINE

Baker Hughes Drill Bits recently launch the new Talon Bit which was derived from years of engineering experience and reiterations of bit designs. Baker Hughes Drill Bit Engineers have tested many different frame styles that have lead to the optimized drilling and efficiency of the Talon Bit. The Talon Bit has continuously enabled operators to increase their rate of penetration, reach target depths with one bit which leads to cost savings. By enlarging the junk slot area and face volume of the bit, we are able to optimize the hydraulics and efficiently remove cuttings keeping the bit cool and clean. The blades of the Talon Bit have also been altered. The thinner Talon blades have allowed the bit to have a more open cutter face leading to an increase in instantaneous rate of penetration. Baker Hughes Drill Bit Engineers have not only adjusted the bit frame itself but also invested into the research and development of the Talon diamond cutters. Optimizing durability has been a constant priority for our cutting edge technology and increasing the durability of the Talon diamond cutters have made it possible for the Talon Bit to reach the ever challenging target depths.
