HUGHES CHRISTENSEN

The roots of today's Hughes Christensen Company go back to the turn of the 20th century and embody the legacies of two pioneers of the petroleum industry. The names of Howard Hughes, Sr. and Carl Baker are synonymous with
HowardHughes, Sr.

rotary drilling. Their patents for inventions in the early 1900s launched businesses that led to the creation of Baker Hughes Incorporated, when Baker International and Hughes Tool merged in 1987. In the 1940s, Frank and George Christensen were the driving force behind diamond bit development and the creation of Christensen Diamond Products. In 1990, Baker Hughes bought Christensenand over the next two years, the industry's first rolling cone bit company and first diamond bit company evolved into Hughes Christensen, a Baker Hughes Company. Hughes Christensen's research and development programs have been the key to the systematic advancement of drill bit technology. Drill bit performance has played a major role in helping the petroleum industry find and produce energyworldwide.

Carl Baker

1940 1930 1920 1909
1909 - Invented the first rotary rock bit equipped with two conical cutters that rolled on the bottom. This bit revolutionized rotary drilling by making it possible to drill rock formations faster. 1910 - Established the first research laboratory to study rock bit performance. 1921 - Introduced the Simplex bit. This design had a replaceable wash pipe downthe center of the bit that allowed for the use of more powerful mud pumps which resulted in dramatic improvement in rates of penetration. 1925 - Developed self-cleaning cones that more than doubled the footage and penetration rate of rock bits. 1929 - The application of hardfacing on the cutting structure of cones to further increase rate of penetration and footage drilled per bit was introduced....
