PDC Bit Engineering

Engineering Workflow and Product Families

PDC

Hybrit’s PDC bit engineering workflow transforms formation drillability, offset performance, cutter loading and post-run evidence into application-specific bit features.

Formation Drillability Analysis

UCS, abrasion index, impact index and lithology profiles are used to define bit aggressiveness, cutter density, blade count, gauge protection and hydraulic features.

MX-DBO Design Optimization

Single-cutter loading, work rate and imbalance force are quantified to refine cutter placement and cutting structure stability.

Post-Run Performance Feedback

Dull grading, cutter wear and drilling dysfunction evidence are compared with design assumptions to update future bit features.

Formation drillability analysis for PDC bit design

Formation-Driven Bit Features

Design bit features from drillability, abrasiveness and impact risk

Formation drillability analysis transforms lithology, UCS, abrasion and impact profiles into a practical design basis for PDC bit features. This helps the design team select cutter layout, blade geometry, gauge length and hydraulic configuration before the bit is built.

TINI-VIB™ — downhole vibration monitoring for bit design improvement

VIBRATION

Measure · Diagnose · Improve

A closed-loop workflow linking downhole dynamics with bit design improvement

TINI-VIB™ high frequency dynamic sensor is an advanced technology within Hybrit’s PDC bit platform. Installed in the bit pin connection, it records bit dynamics throughout the entire bit run, capturing three-axis acceleration, bit RPM and temperature close to the bit.

By translating downhole vibration into engineering evidence, TINI-VIB supports dysfunction diagnosis, drilling parameter refinement and continuous optimization of cutter layout, gauge protection and bit feature design.

Near-bit dynamic recording

Directly captures acceleration, bit RPM and temperature where drilling dysfunction originates.

High-frequency event capture

Supports continuous monitoring and high-frequency recording of critical transient vibration events.

Engineering diagnosis

Helps identify stick-slip, whirl, bit bounce and other drilling dysfunction patterns.

Design feedback loop

Feeds vibration evidence back into future bit design, operating guidelines and product iteration.

HAWKEYE™ — quantitative evaluation for post-run bits

HAWKEYE

AI-driven precision failure diagnostics

A digital workflow for post-run bit evaluation and failure diagnosis

HAWKEYE™ is Hybrit Energy’s next-generation post-run PDC bit dull analysis technology. By combining software, workflow and digital measurement, it provides quantitative insight into cutter wear, cutter breakage and bit-body condition to support more accurate performance evaluation.

Its 360-degree scanning workflow captures full bit geometry and worn-cutter condition, while integrated comparison against design intent helps engineers connect wear patterns, loading distribution and operating history with failure mechanisms.

Full 360° digital scanning

High-resolution measurement of worn cutters, broken cutters and bit-body damage for complete post-run evaluation.

Quantitative wear and damage assessment

Advanced algorithms quantify cutter degradation and distinguish abrasive wear, impact damage and thermal fatigue.

Integrated design comparison

Cross-reference with bit design software to evaluate cutter work rate, loading distribution and wear trends.

Failure mode identification

Supports diagnosis of excessive WOB, torque fluctuation, formation-induced damage and BHA instability.
