Dull Bit Grading is Subjective,
inconsistent and Laborious
Dull bit grading today produces data of limited value, because it is subject to human interpretation and is therefore inconsistent and unreliable.
The monumental task of sifting through and analyzing inconsistent reports with a half dozen blurry images per bit makes analysis of bit wear extremely laborious and challenging today. Moreover, attempting to overlay this data with WOB, RPM, ROP and other relevant drilling parameters to assess bit performance is virtually impossible.
But most importantly the data is not easily pulled into analytics or other software packages for further analysis

in Drilling Operations
- Produce digital dull bit grA+de autonomously, in addition to high resolution 3D models of bits, including all wear measurements & characteristics (IADC etc.)
- Compare to CAD model and/or original sharp bit for QC & QA
- Export to CSV or other output file formats to use in analytics or other software packages, in combination with EDR drilling data sets
