Prime Horizontal can supply the cutters for self-fabrication or a complete body with cutters. With this new range of tooling, the company said it can strengthen its position as a HDD full service provider to customers worldwide.

The new 20in (508mm) TCI and MT block leg cutter segments are now part of the company's downhole tooling portfolio, offering options to remove and replace cutters extending the lifetime of cutter bodies.

The new 17½in split bit segment is one of the largest individually available split bit segments specifically designed for the HDD industry, Prime Horizontal claimed.

In addition to these hole-opening options, it can provide HDD-specific tricone drill bits from 4 ¾in up to 17½in.
