RipTerra™ is commercially available
The flagship kinetic-flow tricone moves from structured trials to available-now - a drop-in fit for existing blast-hole fleets, with zero rig modification.
DrillTerra Technologies has moved RipTerra™ from structured production trials into general commercial availability. The bit that carried +15% sustained penetration over 10,560 metres in a Tier-1 Hunter Valley production trial is now open to order for hard-ground blast-hole operations.
RipTerra™ is protected by granted Australian patent 2014273848. The design re-engineers the tricone around cuttings evacuation: a concave-profiled face and shaped discharge channels give broken rock a single-pass exit, so bailing air moves cuttings up the annulus instead of regrinding them at the face.
Drop-in, zero rig modification
RipTerra™ runs on the same rigs, the same bailing air, the same drill string. Nothing changes at the deck except what happens under the bit. That is the point - a productivity gain that does not require a capital program to unlock.
Structured trials remain available for operators evaluating RipTerra™ at scale. Instrumented benchmarking, side-by-side against the incumbent bit, on the operator's own patterns.
