BlueFire’s customized engineering solutions keep pace with
dramatic industry growth
As the U.S. becomes the top producer of petroleum and natural
gas hydrocarbons, BlueFire Equipment Corporation (OTCQB: BLFR)
announced its team of scientists and engineers are working to
further calibrate and adapt its highly advanced drilling equipment
for a variety of environments and rock formations.
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the
U.S. has now surpassed Russia and Saudi Arabia in petroleum and
natural gas production, with dramatic growth in Texas and North
Dakota.
Chairman and CEO of BlueFire Equipment Corporation William A.
Blackwell said, “As a result of BlueFire’s sophisticated
manufacturing techniques, the company has been able to increase the
advantages of its drilling equipment by adding customization while
continuing to reduce costs.” He added, “This is a timely
opportunity for BlueFire to provide its superior technology to U.S.
drillers, contributing to their global frontrunner position.”
BlueFire’s ability to provide customization as well as cost
savings has ushered in new opportunities for expansion as it
continues to develop its intellectual property. As previously
announced, in January 2012, BlueFire was issued its first patent
for a new rotary drill bit that includes a manifold for outputting
fluid flow to a plurality of nozzles to respective cutting
elements. A second patent disclosing further claims for PDC drill
bits and methods is currently under review by the U.S. Patent and
Trademark Office.
BlueFire’s exclusive design has the ability to provide higher
rates of penetration (ROP) and longer bit runs in hard rock
formations and shales, representing a breakthrough in drilling
technology. BlueFire bits employ large cutter face volumes for
rapid drilling of shales, sandstones, limestones and sticky clays.
These bits utilize premium PDC cutters for improved ROP and are
designed using directed ports to accelerate cleaning and optimize
cooling. Company findings indicate a decrease of more than 30
percent in temperature on the cutting surfaces, drastically
reducing cutter wear and extending the life of the bit.
Conventional bits use nozzles that eject drilling fluid into the
well bottom resulting in a general application and uneven
distribution at the point of contact. BlueFire’s bit design employs
strategically aligned nozzles to concentrate high-pressure jet
streams directly on the cutting edge, lubricating the interface
between the cutters and the rock formation being drilled.
Furthermore, improved cleaning and scouring action facilitates
removal of cuttings. The result is a bit that runs cleaner and
cooler.
