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.

Our philosophy of continuous improvement endures as we approach our 100th anniversary.

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
