Hard Rock Drilling Economics 101
The harder the rock, the slower it drills The
slower it drills, the more the well costs

Our Solution The Particle Impact Drilling PID
System

• Patented technology, step-change in performance
• Field tests proved the PID System drills hard
  rock at 3 to better than 6 times faster than
  conventional methods

Hardened Steel Particles Do the Real Work

• Conventional drill bits require high mechanical
  forces to crush and grind the hard rock away
• The PID System removes hard rock by blasting it
  away with readily available hydraulic force and
  small hardened steel particles entrained in the
  drilling fluid
• These steel particles accelerate through the PID
  bit nozzles
• Impacting the hard rock over 4 Million times per
  minute at 500 ft/sec as compared to roughly 540
  impacts per minute for a conventional drill bit
• Contact stress occurs over a smaller contact area
  yielding roughly 830,000 psi of contact stress
  vs. 60,000 psi of contact stress with a
  conventional bit
• The volume of steel particles required is very
  small at only 2-3 of total fluid volume
