TorkBuster®

The revolutionary TorkBuster® can significantly reduce drilling costs. Until now, eliminating stick-slip problems with PDC bits in difficult formations meant less WOB, less aggressive cutter design or the use of roller cone bits. All of these result in lower penetration rates and a higher cost per foot.

When combined with an aggressive steel or matrix-bodied PDC bit, the patented TorkBuster® directs rotational impact forces to the bit. This reduces stick-slip by reducing reactive torque and increases horsepower to the bit.
