In several pilot drilling holes and various rock formations the bit has proven top performance and minor shirttail werar. Nozzles size and cutting structure design have been properly selected to safeguard troublefree operation on site.

Once PDC bits failed to break through very demanding, abrasive formations, Glinik TCI bit was selected and did the job very well. As a result, the drilling was continued with another Glinik TCI bit to reach the final depth with the expected water temperature, which can be used  for the termal pools complex. Heavy-duty, leg back protection Glinik bits with premium bearing system can be the first choice in specific geothermal drilling conditions.

Total depth achieved with one run thanks to Glinik bit with effective bearnings and premium gauge and leg back protection. Drill bit equipped in 4 jet flushing allowed for smooth, constant drilling with no bearing overheating risk and let fully avoid the bit balling. No wearing sings on hardfaced surface prove the top quaity of the materials used.

Large diameter bits designed for reverse circulation drilling in very demanding geological conditions - Kimberilite Pipes which are including the diamond deposits. The most important goal achieved was the reliability of the bits what helped to finish the project in a safe and failure-free way.
