Atlas Copco Secoroc now holds all-time world records in 41 categories of Hart Energy’s Drillbit Records–24 for superior rate of penetration (ROP) and 17 for single-run endurance in down-the-hole hammer bits. The Hart Energy 2015 update was recently released.
Hart Energy’s drilling data from the country’s oil and gas basins is the most comprehensive and reliable documentation of tool performance in the country, according to Gene Mattila, business line manager for Atlas Copco Rock Drilling Tools. Drillbit Records lists different types and sizes of bits in three categories – single run drill feet, cumulative drill feet and rate of penetration (ROP).
