Toolface angle,
In finite-element analysis simulations, the
AxeBlade bit demonstrated good toolface
control throughout the entire curve section.
The offset bit loses toolface control when the
formation changes from shale to carbonate.
CASE STUDY: AxeBlade bit improves ROP by 29% and improves directional control in Eagle Ford Shale interval
Better toolface control and
29% faster ROP

The AxeBlade bit drilled the same interval as offsets with significantly higher ROP.
The AxeBlade bit (above) was POOH with a dull grade of 1-1-CT-NS-IN-BT-TD. The offset bit (below) was POOH in
worse condition with a dull grade of 0-3-CT-NS-IN-SPA-TD.
