Giniyat G. Ishbaev Doctor of Engineering Science opens up new opportunities. He unites a team of like-minded people into “BURINTEKH” Company and continues the traditions of the classical Ufa school of bits at the origins of which were A.I. Spivak, N.F. Kagarmanov, M.R. Mavlyutov and others.
An office and production facilities were opened in the center of Ufa, on Karl Marx Street. In the same year the company created the first production of diamond bits in Russia.

1999
2000

Production moves to Yubileynaya Street. The purchased shop is put into operation in a short time. The first machines are purchased on lease; bits are produced in small batches after which they undergo field tests. According to the results of drilling changes are made to the design. This is how the tool that allows getting high results is created.

2000
2001

Bits for drilling the lower intervals of production casing sections in Western Siberia were designed and successfully ran, due to the use of which the period of well construction was significantly reduced. “BURINTEKH” every day attracts more and more professionals.

2001
2002

The enterprise is expanding - the second building is being commissioned, there is constant improvement, the team is working with enthusiasm. Employees make their first presentations at exhibitions where they proudly demonstrate goods of BURINTEKH’s own production. The bits reach a level of 2000 m meterage along the lower intervals of the production casing in Western Siberia.

2002
2003

The design of the bit for the upper wellbore intervals was a significant development. From now on the entire well could be drilled with “BURINTEKH” PDC bits with higher technical and economic indicators than traditional roller-cone bits. The meterage of the first bit for conductor drilling BIT 292.9 M4 at the customer's fields was more than 8000 m (eleven sections) which is more than three times higher than the average for roller-cone bits in the region. The first core barrel SK-178/100 is being successfully tested in the fields of Bashkortostan and Western Siberia.

2003
2004

One of the most significant events is the development of a steerable PDC bit series BIT-2 which allows drilling directional wells in Western Siberia per one run below surface casing. This was a tremendous drilling breakthrough!
The first machine with numerical control (CNC) appeared in production. 4- and 5-axis machines were purchased. The accuracy has increased and the time spent on tool production has been significantly reduced. In the same year a service support department was founded which is engaged in tool run at the customer's facilities.

2004
2005

Regional offices were opened in Nefteyugansk, Noyabrsk and Novy Urengoy. Drilling muds department and muds lab was established. The first in-house developed mud was patented and is now successfully used in a variety of conditions. Later a number of patents for other muds were received.

The range of steerable bits is expanding. All diameters used to drill wells are being developed. A new type of tool is being developed and is undergoing successful field tests: for workover, for drilling multilateral wells, for casing exits.

2005
2006

A regional office was opened in Gubkinsky. The line includes PDC bits with a diameter of 393.7 mm. “BURINTEKH”, Ltd received the SHELL Global Drilling Performance Award - the steering wheel of the F1 car piloted by Michael Schumacher in the 2005-2006 season. This achievement became especially important for the Ufa enterprise. “BURINTEKH” has demonstrated compliance not only with the advanced technologies of leading international companies, but also with quality and industrial safety standards.

2006
2007

Regional offices appear in Nizhnevartovsk and Orenburg. MWD engineering support department is being established, the specialists of which are engaged in drilling directional and horizontal wells using MWD systems “GEOLINK” and “Compass”.
A new bit for hard rock drilling was produced. The bit BIT2-220.7 MCP was successfully ran in trias of the Rogozhnikovskoye field. The enterprise now has a test bench for PDC cutters.

2007
2008

The first foreign representative office was opened in Kazakhstan. The third workshop was opened in production.
The most important event was the entry of a line of steerable high-speed bits 416 series. These are the most demanded drill bits in Western Siberia. Drilling speed has increased significantly.

2008
2009

The production of matrix bits was opened; earlier this tool came to the country only from other countries. The first run of the matrix bit 295.3 B 616 YM.30 is taking place at the Orenburg fields with a positive result. “BURINTEKH”, Ltd celebrates its first anniversary - the enterprise is ten years old. About 200 representatives of Russian and foreign companies came to the celebration. For the first time the employees of the enterprise, who have worked for 10 years, were awarded with golden badges “BURINTEKH”.

2009
2010

Matrix production is developing, in particular the impregnated type of matrix bits. They are used for drilling hard and very hard formations. The enterprise is developing new promising markets: Eastern Siberia, the European part of Russia, the Republic of Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan and far abroad. In Kazakhstan it was possible not only to increase the ROP, but also to significantly reduce the well construction period in general.
The company acquires a plant in the United States that manufactures roller-cone bits. The plant is named “BURINTEKH USA”, LLC.

2010
2011

A well casing laboratory was created. For the reliable operation of wells in difficult conditions special backfill compositions are required the development of which is carried out by the laboratory. The plans include the development of new niches - high-temperature wells, remedial cementing as well as cementing in the permafrost zone.
A new office building with an area of ​​3500 square meters was built. A large number of high-tech equipment is being purchased - processing centers, which account for the bulk of work on the manufacture of serial products.

2011
2012

Full cycle roller-cone bits production workshop was launched. The production is equipped with the state of the art equipment. The only vacuum furnace in Russia operates here. Inspection machine with programmed control was purchased - there is no such device either in Russia or in the neighboring countries. In addition the production of jars was launched.

2012
2013

More than 10000 square meters of production facilities and new office building to already existing 30000 were purchased where the Training Center of the enterprise will be located and a personnel adaptation program will be organized. One of the successfully implemented projects was the organization of the industrial chair “Well Construction”, which was created on the basis of “BURINTEKH”, Ltd. It is a part of the “Drilling of oil and gas wells” academic chair of the Mining and Oil Faculty of Ufa State Petroleum Technological University. The accumulated knowledge, experience, powerful production base - are an important basis for close cooperation for efficiency and creative solution of large-scale problems.
