BlueFire Breaks into New Market

Business Wire
BlueFire Equipment Corporation (OTCQB:BLFR) revealed today that
a Wyoming exploration company signed a purchase order for
BlueFire’s polycrystalline diamond cutter (PDC) drill bit. Along
with this deal, BlueFire has the opportunity to provide the
operator additional equipment for up to three more wells.
Chairman and CEO of BlueFire Equipment Corporation William A.
Blackwell said, “We are excited about breaking into this market and
further evidencing the performance of our advanced drilling
technology.” He added that BlueFire’s representative will be on
location as drilling commences and will also meet with other oil
and gas companies in the area.
In order to improve performance and reduce drilling costs per
foot, 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 rates of penetration
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
steams 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.
BlueFire’s proprietary bit may provide 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 money
for the driller.
