BlueFire Signs Agreement with Permian Basin Distributor
August 01 2013 - 8:30AM
Business Wire
BlueFire Equipment Corporation (OTCQB: BLFR) announced today
that it has signed an agreement with Midland, Texas agent Tom
Willis to serve as its representative in the Permian Basin. Willis
will facilitate a local business presence for BlueFire, allowing
greater collaboration with customers in the region. He will make
BlueFire’s proprietary polycrystalline diamond cutter (PDC) drill
bit technology more accessible to drillers operating in the area
and engage the company in other transactions for equipment and
services.
Crude oil production in the Texas Permian Basin is approaching a
million barrels per day according to Karr Ingham, a petroleum
economist for the Texas Alliance of Energy Producers. BlueFire’s
PDC drill bits are expected to become a sought-after commodity for
their higher rates of penetration (ROP) and longer bit runs in hard
rock formations and shales such as those found in the area.
Chairman and CEO of BlueFire Equipment Corporation William A.
Blackwell said, “Drilling operators in West Texas will appreciate
BlueFire’s high performance technology and boots on the ground to
deliver top customer service on location.” He added, “We welcome
Tom to the BlueFire team and we are confident he will add even more
value to our innovative and cost saving drilling equipment.”
As previously announced, this proprietary bit allows much faster
and longer drilling, without the need to stop and pull the entire
drill pipe out of the well to replace a spent drill bit. According
to recent findings, some wells can be drilled using a BlueFire bit
without a single bit change, potentially saving considerable time
and costs for the driller. Last month, BlueFire announced it is
working with the United States Patent and Trademark Office for an
additional drilling tool patent.
