Designed to do more than simply drill through composite bridge plugs (CBPs), the Vanguard™ plug drillout roller cone bit, from Baker Hughes consistently delivers a cleaner, more reliable drillout operation. The unique cutting structure of the Vanguard plug drillout bit uses a higher tooth count and self-sharpening teeth to tackle the specific challenges of plug drillouts. This cutting structure directs the limited available weight on bit (WOB) to destroy cast iron and tungsten carbide CBPs, crushing them into smaller cuttings. Production is then allowed to flow more smoothly and cleanly with less debris.

Ensure a cleaner, more reliable drillout operation with the Vanguard™ plug drillout bit from Baker Hughes. Designed to do more than simply drill through composite bridge plugs (CBPs), the roller cone drill bit’s unique cutting structure uses a higher tooth count and self-sharpening teeth to tackle the specific challenges of plug drillouts.

The Vanguard plug drillout bit’s cutting structure directs the limited available weight on bit (WOB) to crush cast iron and tungsten carbide CBPs into smaller cuttings. As a result, production flows more smoothly and cleanly with less debris.

Compared to traditional mill-type bits, the Vanguard plug drillout bit drills with lower torque spikes, which protects the bottomhole assembly (BHA) from motor stalls. The bit also drills faster and through more plugs per bit than competing roller cone products, saving bit trips over time.

A slimhole bit ranging in size between 4 1⁄8 in. to 4 5⁄8 in., the Vanguard plug drillout bit is especially effective in low WOB runs and can be run at rotation speeds ranging between 80 to 350 rpm.

Features and Benefits
• Improves drilling efficiency in low WOB applications
• Reduces wear in the bearing
• Extends bearing life
• Protects the bearing and seal for increased durability and performance
• Protects the compensator
• Assist the drilling operations when back-reaming is required
• Provides longer bit life in rotary, motor, and directional applications
Applications
• Bridge plug drillouts
• Fracturing ball and sleeve system drillouts
• Coiled tubing
• Motor, rotary, and directional drilling
• Low weight on bit; low available torque
