NEW BIT--Ra- Loffland rig sets endurance record with Williams bit A new field drilling record for diamond bits was set over the weekend at Loffland Rig 163 just on the outskirts of Roosevelt. The rig is drilling for Chevron Oil, on the George Murray lease, in Section 16, northwest of town. The endurance record was broken by a Williams No. 202V6 bit, 6 18 inches in diameter, embedded with No. 2 and 3 Carbon Audo diamonds. The bit was manufactured by Williams Diamond Bit Company, a division of Smith International. The new record, set at 8:30 p.m. last Saturday night, was for a total penetration of 2,855 feet, in 540 'A hours. The bit was placed in the hole on April 25, starting at 9,595 feet. It completed May 18, at a depth of 12,450 feet. According to Frank Hartley, Chevron drilling engineer, everything went just right from start to finish on the hole. A ts . total of were. used-i- n the hole to complete the 12,450 feet, for an average of 958 feet per bit. This penetration rate is well above average in this field. He added that as the crew sensed the keen competition for the record, they put every effort into the task, and were proud of the record run. The engineer also added that it looked like another 14-bi- Pool to open; schedule set The Roosevelt swimming pool will open next Monday, May 27, according to John Paul Murphy, recreation director for the city.

At the present time, logging has been completed on the well, and crews are now running casing. Tool Pusher on the rig for Loffland was Jerry Dietz. Drillers included Val J. Weaver, Glen E. Stanhope, Frank and R. L. Ryder. During the run the diamond bit averaged 5.3 feet per hour in penetration, and was operated at an RPM from 90 to 110. A stem pressure of 20 to 25 thousand pounds was maintained, with a flow of 153 gallon per minute of fluid across the face of the bit. Mud was maintained at 15.3 pounds, with a viscosity of 40. Ray Handsel, western regional manager for Williams Diamond Bits, stated We-liev- that the greater Altamont-Bluebe- ll oQ field has done more to develop diamond bit technologies than any other field in the world. The deep wells, hard drilling formations and high drilling costs have suggested improved bit engineering and thereby greater bit efficiency. During the past two years, endurance records of diamond bits in the field have been continu-l-y climbing, and should continue to do so as greater advancements are made, he added. An interesting note on the drilling of a record hole is the fact that in order to drill the 2,855 feet, the diamond bit made 2.343,000 revolutions, and a total of 4,961,790 gallons of fluid were pumped across the face of the bit.
