The newest ReedHycalog® hydraulics allow faster and faster rates of penetration (ROP) without sacrificing durability.
Conventional Hydraulics focuses flow stream at the bottom or bottom corner of hole, and radial dispersion does not allow most fluid to pass under the cutters for cleaning.
ReedHycalog Mudpick Hydraulics directs the flow to first clean the and then sweep under cutters to provide cleaning during formation engagement.

• No hole erosion
• No hole-size variations
• No hole enlargement
• Average 22% increase in ROP
• Possible 60% increase in ROP
• Performance gains by formation (bit types 417 to 537)
• Shale 20% to 53% faster
• Limestone/Sand 19% to 25% faster

• Mudpick nozzles, as integral parts of the lug forging, eliminate problems associated with separate mini-nozzles or fully-extended nozzles.
• Mudpick hydraulics allow for use of more durable bits without sacrificing penetration rates, so drillers can complete intervals without replacing the bit.
• Mudpick technologies offer particular advantages to starved hydraulic situations, making more efficient use of available hydraulic energy.
