Case Study
Case History
Baker Oil Tools and Hughes Christensen collaborated with a major operator to test
the effectiveness of Hughes Christensens EZCase bit to drill new formation.
Summary
In the past, the use of a full PDC casing bit
required a dedicated milling trip to drill out
the float and casing bit before the next section could be drilled. Hughes Christensens
Genesis PDC bit with drillout features,
together with the EZCase casing bit,
combines the drillout run and next hole
section into one operation.
3M
Conclusion
The added performance and confidence of
using a premium EZCase casing bit is now
enhanced by being able to drill the following
hole section with a premium PDC bit.
Custom Connections
The increased torque requirement
when drilling or reaming down is
accommodated by casing connections
being cut to customers requirements.

Wellbore/Drilling Details
7-5/8 in. 33.7 lb casing set at 8,979 ft
6-1/2 in. EZC304 EZCase bit
Formation Information
Unconfined compressive strength of formations was 10,000 to 15,000 psi
Most of the formation drilled was shale, with a mix of sand
Job Results
After 37 hours of total drilling time and 923 ft drilled, the EZCase bit was
pulled from the wellbore
Upon examination, all of the PDC cutters were intact with only minor wear
patterns on the blades
Maximum ROP of 68 ft/hr
Average ROP of 24.9 ft/hr (exceeded target ROP by 24.5%)
EZLine Implementation
After the success of this test, the operator ran an EZLine
liner drilling system on their next well. The wellbore details
were the same as the test run and a 6-1/2 in. OD EZCase bit
was deployed on a 2,676 ft 5-1/2 in. 17 lb Hydril 513 P-110
casing string. The liner drilling system started cutting through
virgin formation and successfully drilled 677 ft. This section
averaged a ROP of 12.5 ft/hr with some of the section being
control drilled to optimize cuttings removal. The liner was
released with the drop ball, the liner cemented, and setting
tool tripped from the wellbore. This successful job allowed the
operator to set casing across the trouble zones and drill the next
hole interval without incident.

Drop Ball
Releases the HRD setting tool from the liner.
Made of brass for straight wellbores and
Bakelite for horizontal applications.
Depleted formations
Unstable formations
Loss zones
Low-pressure zones
Salt-dome drilling
PBR Packoff
Provides a way to pack off and seal the
workstring to the liner. Also acts as a
secondary debris barrier.
EZLine Benefits
Smaller OD than conventional liner hangers,
which increases bypass area and decreases
the chance of packing off around liner top
Tool configuration enhances hydraulics;
no pressure limitations while circulating
and drilling
High torque capabilities
Reduces surge pressure caused by
conventional ball seats
Simple, proven design
Can be drilled to bottom and cemented in
one trip
