Tools
Powering your performance
Your worksites rely on a combination of complementary drilling tools: PDCs, eccentric or concentric reamers, and fixed hole openers. Each integrates strategically positioned PDC cutters, at the heart of performance… and wear.
That’s precisely where Fixndril intervenes, replacing end-of-life cutters to extend your tools’ potential.
The PDC Bit
No need to introduce the undisputed star of drilling that pierces the hardest formations: the PDC tool.
Equipped with polycrystalline diamond cutters, it excels in rotation thanks to its extreme durability and precise cutting capability.
When these cutters are chipped, worn, or broken, we can remove them, replace them, and restore the tool's original drilling performance while preserving the tool body.
​
The Eccentric Reamer
Eccentric reamers are hole enlargers with a balanced mass to minimize vibrations and improve drilling conditions. They contribute to hole enlargement at the start of drilling. Their cutters, subjected to extreme mechanical stress, ensure precise and reliable reaming.
Fixndril works on these cutting elements to restore their full boring power.

The Concentric Reamer
The concentric reamer operates along the borehole axis to ensure a consistent diameter and minimize stress on equipment. Its mission: improve drilling conditions, especially deviated ones, to clean the well and cuttings bed.
Here again, the PDC cutters, distributed around the tool, ensure boring quality.
When wear When wear builds up, Fixndril precisely targets these cutters: removal, replacement, and geometry restoration to regain a reliable, consistent tool profile.

The Underreamer
The arm-type underreamer excels in aggressive hole enlargement, well beyond the initial pilot hole diameter. It’s perfect for ensuring good circulation, gravel packs, or well abandonment.
Its articulated arm mechanism (hydraulic or mechanical) can enlarge the pilot hole by over 100%, ideal for placing gravel packs or cement plugs.

The Fixed Hope Opener
The Fixndril hole opener: a stable and powerful hole enlarger for hardened formations, it increases the hole diameter and removes foundations.
Versatile, it operates in rotary above an RSS or PDM. Its multi-level design is optimized to prevent jamming.
