This year at Ulterra will be remembered for significant advancements in PDC bits and downhole tools — marked by the introduction of new technology, a monumental number of new designs, and the launch of our 5” Mitigator for the lateral section. It will also be remembered for notable safety achievements, such as exceeding 500 days of incident-free manufacturing in Fort Worth and more than 3,000 days without incidents in Oman. The year saw memorable events and celebrations, like our first Wheels for Water event benefiting our nonprofit partner, WHOlives, and record-breaking performance, with our customers setting new records both basin-wide and state-wide. From completing our facility remodel in Muscat, Oman, to advancing manufacturing in Fort Worth, Texas, we’re proud of what our people accomplished in just a years-time. Thank you to our people and partners for a memorable 2024! #Ulterra

This November, our North American leaders gathered in Glenrose, Texas to review 2024 and map out a strategic plan for the year ahead. Between key discussions, they enjoyed pheasant hunting and outdoor adventures at Rough Creek — a perfect balance of business and team bonding. In December, our International team headed to Muscat, Oman, where they explored the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque and Muttrah Souq before diving into presentations and goal-setting for 2025. It was all about aligning on strategy and preparing for success across Latin America, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East & North Africa. A huge thank you to everyone who made these meetings productive and memorable. We’re ready for an exciting 2025, with the support of all our people around the globe! #Ulterra

Wayra Energy has successfully drilled Yuralpa field’s fastest and longest 12.25” intermediate, drilling an impressive 10,261 ft. at an average ROP of 175 ft/hr. This run, drilling through the Tertiary, Chalcana, Orteguaza, Tiyuyacu, Tena, Napo, and Hollín formations, was drilled utilizing Ulterra's 12.25" RPS519 with Omega® cutters and an 8" Mitigator™. By reducing torsional, axial, and lateral vibration, Wayra achieved the top performance in the field. #Ulterra #Drilling #Ecuador

In Southeast Saskatchewan, Canadian operators have consistently increased ROP in their 222mm vertical and build sections since the release of the new 222mm CF516. Across the top seven runs, operators have reached section TD of ~1,500 meters at an average ROP of 59 m/hr. They have also seen improvements in the design's steerability, allowing for improved directional control. #Ulterra #Canada

Recently in Argentina, YPF SA partnered with Estrella International Energy Services Ltd., DLS Argentina, and our team to drill four intermediate sections in one of the most challenging unconventional plays in Neuquén, Argentina. Utilizing Ulterra's 8.75" RPS516, featuring RAM cutters and CWD drill-out features, this operator set two new field records on the same pad, increasing ROP by 42.4% compared to the previous record. During the fastest run, YPF drilled 1,890 meters at an average ROP of 43.3 m/hr. Congratulation to YPF, Estrella, and DLS for setting a new standard in Campo Bajo Del Toro Norte. #Ulterra #Argentina #Drilling

Experiencing excessive shock and vibration while drilling lateral sections? The new 5” Mitigator™ reduces torsional shock and enables max differential pressure for stable RSS performance. During a recent field test, a major operator in the Permian Basin achieved a reduction in shock of up to 60% in the deepest part of the lateral section utilizing the Mitigator. This resulted in increased performance and less wear on the bit and BHA. #Ulterra #Drilling #Mitigator

It's Thanksgiving week! For our shops in West Texas and Hobbs, that means early mornings, Tony's seasoning, and a whole lot of fried turkeys. Over the past two days, our teams prepped, seasoned, fried, and delivered ~350 turkeys for rigs across West Texas and southeastern New Mexico. For all the hard-working rig crews, thank you for keeping things running during the holidays. Special to this year, our team in West Texas also fried an extra hundred turkeys for the nonprofit, One Bite at a Time Ministries. This ministry will be providing a full Thanksgiving meal to cancer patients and their families across the Permian. We're grateful to play a small part in bringing some comfort and joy to these families this holiday season. #Ulterra #TurkeyFry
