Turbo Drilling
PKT Turbo has partnered with Jiach Energy Solutions (JES) to provide turbo drilling in India. PKT Turbo owns a newly designed turbodrill, the TurboDynamics series, forming a uniquely effective technology for fast drilling of igneous rock, gravel layers and highly abrasive quartz sandstone, in combination with uniquely designed diamond-impregnated bits.
To improve drilling efficiency, extend the life of drilling tools and provide a quantum leap in overall drilling performance in targeted applications, PKT Turbo has established a service system covering the whole drilling process from design to execution.
When applied to the correct application, turbo-drilling can generally save drilling time by 40-50% and overall drilling cost by around a third. Hole quality is also often greatly improved, reducing well-bore tortuosity and easing the running of casing or production liner strings. Turbo-drilling is particularly well suited to deep wells, heavy mud-weight scenarios, high downhole temperatures and formations that are difficult to drill by conventional means. Taking different formations and well conditions into account, PKT Turbo can provide various combinations of diamond-impregnated bits and turbodrills, successfully used to drill directional, horizontal and highly deviated wells.

Lithology / Performance
| Lithology | ROP | Life of Bit | Dull Characteristics | Advantages |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sandstone, mudstone (shale) | Increased ~100% | ~20x longer | Even and slight wear | Distinct ROP improvement, long bit life, 50% time saved |
| Quartz sandstone | Increased ~80% | ~8–10x longer | Even wear | ROP and run length improved, 50% time saved |
| Igneous rock | Increased ~300% | ~20x longer | Slight wear, long life | Distinct ROP improvement and long bit life, 60% time saved |
| Gravel layer | Increased ~30% | ~20–30x longer | Slight wear, long life | Slight ROP improvement, distinct run-length improvement, 65% time saved |
