Extending the Life of Your Drilling Investment: JOT’s Expertise in PDC Bit Refurbishment

In today’s oil and gas industry, maximizing drilling equipment life is essential for cost efficiency and operational performance. PDC (Polycrystalline Diamond Compact) bits are among the most valuable drilling tools, and instead of discarding worn bits, refurbishment has become the smarter choice.

At JOT Oilfield Services LLC, we provide specialized PDC bit refurbishment services across the UAE, Oman, and Saudi Arabia, helping operators get maximum value from their drilling investments.

Why PDC Bit Refurbishment Matters

PDC bits are highly effective in cutting through challenging formations but are prone to wear from:

  • Cutter wear – erosion, chipping, and surface damage
  • Thermal stress – heat-related degradation
  • Impact damage – from formation changes and shock loads
  • Gauge wear and erosion – reducing accuracy and hole quality

Refurbishment restores these tools to near-new condition, extending their service life and ensuring consistent performance.

JOT’s Refurbishment Process

Our advanced process includes:

  • Comprehensive inspection – assessing cutters, gauge, and body integrity
  • Cutter replacement & turning – restoring sharpness and functionality
  • Gauge hard facing – improving durability against abrasive formations
