About Hughes Christensen

We introduced the two-cone drill bit, which launched operations in 1909. Twenty-four years later, we introduced the Tricone™ three-cone drill bit, still the industry standard with its numerous enhancements. In 1976, we introduced PDC bits, which also have been continually upgraded.

We've invested in more R& D, received more patents, and have more drill bit firsts than any other manufacturer. Our technology drills faster, stays in longer, and lowers your cost-per-foot drilled.
