摘要:
A milling tool for removing a packer from a well includes a releasable catcher for supporting remains of a milled packer (51). The catcher has a sleeve (26) with deflectable fingers (29) which normally support the remains of the packer. If the packer should become stuck, the fingers (29) press on a release ring (39) which has a ramp (43) that engages a complementary ramp (42) on a shoulder (41) on the mandrel (14) of the mill. The ramps cam the ring outwardly until the ring breaks in tension at a deliberately weakened location (52). This releases the sleeve (26) to slide downwardly and permit the fingers (29) to deflect inwardly into a recess (23). thereby clearing the bore of the stuck packer.

A rock bit cutter cone (10) for a drill bit (12) is disclosed wherein hard carbide cutter inserts (26) are metallurgically bonded into an interior core (28) of the cone through a cladding (34). The cladding (34) is bonded on to the exterior surface of the core (28) by a powder metallurgy process. The cladding (34) retains the inserts (26) in the core (28). A thin layer or coating (44) of a suitable metal, preferably nickel, is provided on the carbide insert (26) prior to mounting into the core (28). The coating (44) prevents degradation of the carbide through loss of carbon into the core (28) during the powder metallurgy process and accommodates mismatch of thermal expansion between the cutter insert (26) and the core (28). The interior of the cone is formed to provide bearing surfaces (34, 40) either by conventional techniques, or by powder metallurgy processes. Bearing surfaces formed in the interior of the core by powder metallurgy processes may be hard so as to permit an open bearing structure for the drill bit.

The present disclosure relates to cutting tools incorporating polycrystalline diamond bodies used for subterranean drilling applications, and more particularly, to a polycrystalline diamond body joined to a substrate by a fastening member to form a cutting element. The polycrystalline diamond body may be binderless polycrystalline diamond, non-metal catalyst polycrystalline diamond, leached polycrystalline diamond, carbonate polycrystalline diamond, or polycrystalline cubic boron nitride. The polycrystalline diamond body includes an aperture and a fastening member extending through the aperture and metallurgically bonded to the substrate by a HPHT process.
摘要:
Ultra-hard constructions (40) comprise a sintered diamond-bonded body (42) having a matrix of bonded-together diamond grains and a plurality of interstitial regions substantially free of a catalyst material. A metal material (56) comprising a carbide constituent is disposed on a substrate interface surface (54) of the diamond body (42). A substrate (44) is attached to the diamond-bonded body (42) through a braze joint (46). The braze joint (46) is formed from a non-active braze material that reacts with the substrate and metal material. The braze joint is formed at the melting temperature of the non-active braze material in the absence of high-pressure conditions. In an example embodiment, the non-active braze material reacts with the carbide constituent in the metal material. Example materials useful for forming the non-active braze material include those selected from Cu, Ni, Mn, Au, Pd, and combinations and alloys thereof.

A system and method facilitate sidetracking by eliminating one or more trips downhole. A sidetracking system includes a whipstock assembly and a stinger assembly. The stinger assembly has a stinger which extends at least partially through the whipstock assembly. The stinger is coupled to a sub of the sidetracking system by a releasable latch mechanism, such as a shear pin or collet.
