Steel pipes often lack the corrosion and chemical resistance that hydrocarbon pipelines and other industrial applications require. It’s also expensive, time-consuming, and asset-intensive to install and maintain.

Kymera™ hybrid drill bit technology combines the cutting elements of both roller cone and polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) bits into a single, patented design to reduce drilling time and trips in the most complex applications. Kymera is designed to take advantage of the best attributes of both bit types – a dual cutting mechanism with the crushing action of a roller cone and the shearing action of a PDC.  Kymera drills faster than a roller cone and drills smoother with less torque and vibration than a PDC.  This technology increases ROP, reduces drilling vibrations, improves directional control, and improves durability in challenging formations.
