Talon Force High-Velocity PDC Drill BitsTaking PDC bit performance to the next level
The newest advancement in bit technology—the
Talon Force PDC bit—builds upon this foundation
by introducing improvements to cutting and
mechanical efficiency through:�� Next-generation cutter technology �� Cutter geometry enhancements�� Optimized cutter layouts�� Lateral stability improvements
Since its introduction in 2012, the
Baker Hughes Talon™ family of bits
has been proven as the industry standard
for PDC bits, delivering high-performance
cutting, mechanical, and hydraulic efficiency.
Both the Talon and Talon 3D products still
deliver superior directional control and high
build-up (BUR) and penetration rates (ROP) in
challenging environments.
Designed for improved performance
Cutting efficiency: Advanced diamond technology helps cutters stay
sharper longer to increase ROP and footage
Mechanical efficiency: Stable, efficient, and durable designs deliver
superior performance
Hydraulic efficiency: Optimized hydraulic energy at the bit ensures
maximum cuttings evacuation to boost ROP

New technologies for every drilling need
In order to provide industry leading
technology for our PDC bits, our cutter
laboratory continually drives rapid prototype
development and learnings, having cut more
than 10 million ft (3 million m) of rock in
the last 3 years with experimental cutter
technology on our vertical turret lathe.
Over the past several years, Baker Hughes
has vastly expanded its resources from a
personnel and capability standpoint, almost
tripling cutter research resources since 2010.
In addition, Baker Hughes has invested in
state-of-the-art laboratory equipment and
analysis tools.
By combining our lab and development
resources with the latest manufacturing
breakthroughs, we’ve been able to design
the new StaySharp 2.0 cutters to deliver
industry-leading results.
StaySharp 2.0 PDC cuttersThrough extensive laboratory and field testing, Baker Hughes has developed the next generation of PDC cutters.
StaySharp 2.0 cutters have been augmented with the latest high-pressure/high-temperature synthesis technologies
for superior wear resistance, toughness, and thermal stability.

Stabilis reinforced cuttersThe new Stabilis PDC cutters from Baker Hughes improve torsional
stability and increase cutter durability, delivering longer runs and
higher ROP in the most challenging applications. Where traditional
PDC cutters fail due to abrasion or breakage, a new geometric
design protects the cutters while maintaining performance.
In a lab environment, Stabilis cutter testing has shown a 185%
improvement in impact strength when compared with standard
cutters. Overall cutting distance prior to failure was tripled when
using this technology compared to a standard cutter.
Stabilis cutters have set new performance benchmarks in highly
interbedded formations-drilling through conglomerates, chert,
and pyrite inclusions with ease.
Stabilis reinforced cutters not only add durability, but they also
offer benefits in torsional stability. A bit using these cutters sees a
decrease in torque fluctuations while drilling. Controlling torsional
oscillations leads to smoother, more stable drilling resulting in
higher ROP and improved overall performance of the run.
In an application with up to 50% chert layered throughout the
interval, Stabilis cutters generated lower and more consistent
torque and reduced weight on bit requirements–significantly
improving drilling efficiency and increasing ROP.

Optimized cutter layoutsTalon Force drill bits combine these latest
technology advances with application-specific
cutting structures designed to maximize
overall ROP and footage drilled. Bit profiles
have been designed to promote ideal cutter
loading while combining the optimum
aggressiveness and durability to
meet any drilling objective.
Enhanced lateral stability Using optimized blade layouts and strategic
radial positioning, Talon Force bits have
maximized lateral stability, leading to better
use of downhole power and more efficient
drilling. Additionally, this is done in conjunction
with hydraulic efficiency—maximizing cleaning
area to evacuate cuttings and keep cutters
cooler for increased bit life.
