IDEAS®, the Integrated Dynamic Engineering Analysis System, represents a revolutionary breakthrough in fully understanding the dynamics of the rock/cutter interface and how the drill bit behaves as an integral part of the total drilling system. IDEAS has proven itself to be the industrys most advanced and accurate technology for designing high performance drill bits and for selecting the best bit, and recommended operating parameters, for any specific drilling application.
Using this highly sophisticated, proprietary simulation process, Smith Bits has brought an impressive record of accuracy to the evaluation of drill bit performance in a virtual environment, and is using this knowledge to design, build, and apply PDC and roller cone bits that consistently provide superior performance in a wide range of drilling applications.
The comprehensive analytical capability and field-proven accuracy of the IDEAS process have enabled Smith Bits to take a revolutionary approach to designing bits for directional applications. Instead of offering a directional line of PDC bits with specialized directional features, Smith Bits uses the IDEAS process to evaluate individual directional applications and recommend the best bit for the specific situation whether it is a SHARC bit, an ARCS bit, a Shaheen bit, or another one of the companys premium PDC bits.
