Halliburton deploys matrix-body directional bit for longer Permian runs

(World Oil) – Halliburton has introduced the Hypersteer MX directional drill bit, a matrix-body technology aimed at reducing well construction time in abrasive, high-flow environments. The bit merges shankless directional steerability with the durability of a matrix body to support longer drilling runs and fewer trips. Directional bits have historically required steel shanks to achieve steerability, leaving critical components exposed to erosion during
