BlueFire poised to deliver customized engineering solutions
worldwide
BlueFire Equipment Corporation (OTCQB: BLFR) announced today it
is receiving inquiries and requests for quotes from international
firms interested in BlueFire’s proprietary polycrystalline diamond
cutter (PDC) drill bit technology.
Chairman and CEO of BlueFire Equipment Corporation William A.
Blackwell said, “It is well known that the U.S. produces the best
drilling equipment in the world and there is high international
demand for it.” He added, “As a result of our current manufacturing
modalities, BlueFire is capable of delivering highly customized
solutions for the massive international oil and gas industry.”
According to the Oil & Gas Industry Guide, in 2016, the
global oil and gas market is forecast to have a value of $3,758.6
billion, an increase of 16.6% since 2011.
Blackwell said BlueFire’s ability to provide customization will
open a new avenue of expansion for the company as it continues to
develop its intellectual property. 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.
Over the course of a drilling program, BlueFire’s technology has
the potential to save operators millions of dollars. As previously
announced, the BlueFire PDC bit drilled in excess of 200 feet per
hour in the Powder River Basin, demonstrating excellent
performance. BlueFire’s proprietary bit drilled more than 6,000
feet at the Campbell County, Wyoming location.
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.
