Sep 20, 2011 - 3D CAD Software plays critical role in drill bit design that widened escape route for the trapped Chilean minors.
Sensitive to rock hardness (UCS) and friction factor, the PDC Bit Model is very detailed. Our model is based on extensive experimental validation conducted at the MINES ParisTech facilities in Pau (France). This module helps in the bit choice, a key factor in the directional response of any drilling system.
It evaluates the steerability and walking tendency of any PDC bit which are the parameters commonly used by the bit manufacturers. Using BHA Management modules (such as and modules) coupled with the PDC Bit Model module will enhance simulation accuracy.

Halliburton's innovative Direction by Design™ software provides advanced bit design engineering to optimize directional performance. Utilized in conjunction with the process of Design at the Customer Interface (DatCI SM service), Direction by Design software is a powerful means to optimize matched bit design for the specific directional application and drive system. Direction by Design software eliminates lengthy and expensive “trial and error” bit design. For the first time, it’s possible to define the connection between specific bit design changes and their full impact on the directional deliverables, so you can compare the performance of different bit designs before they are ever run. For the customer, it means fast, responsive directional drilling.
