Halliburton launched the HyperSteer™ MX directional drill bit, an industry-first shankless matrix-body bit that improves durability and maximizes directional control. The bit delivers longer runs and fewer trips, resists erosion and abrasion, and performs reliably in high-flow, abrasive environments.

'HyperSteer™ MX directional drill bits mark a major step forward in drilling. The technology combines the precise steerability of HyperSteer™ directional drill bits with a durable matrix body. It allows operators to drill longer in harsh environments and supports efforts to minimize well time and maximize directional performance for customers', said Amr Hassan, vice president, Drill Bits and Services, Halliburton

HyperSteer™ MX directional drill bits utilize advanced matrix materials to resist erosion and abrasion, extend bit life in abrasive, high-flow environments, and improve efficiency and reliability during operations.

HyperSteer™ MX directional drill bits deliver precise steerability that maximizes performance in vertical, curve, and lateral sections, and minimizes well time and reduces well construction costs. The bit reduces trips, lowers exposure to unplanned events, and maintains directional precision in the most abrasive environments.

HyperSteer™ MX directional drill bits extend the HyperSteer™ portfolio and reflect Halliburton’s investment in innovative engineered solutions that maximize asset value.
