A method for repairing a drill bit includes: scanning the drill bit after manufacture thereof; comparing the scan to a design model of the drill bit to recognize one or more features of the drill bit, thereby generating a first model of the as-built drill bit; scanning the drill bit after drilling with the drill bit; comparing the scan of the used drill bit to the first model to recognize the features, thereby generating a second model of the used drill bit; simulating a plurality of repair strategies using the first and second models; and selecting one of the repair strategies by comparing results of the simulations.

A method for manufacturing an impregnated segment includes forming a base tier by depositing one or more layers of molten metallic material. The base tier has a plurality of cavities. The method further includes inserting at least one superhard particle into each cavity and forming an additional tier on top of the base tier by depositing one or more layers of the molten metallic material. The additional tier has a plurality of cavities. The method further includes repeating the insertion of the superhard particles and the formation of additional tiers to form an impregnated cage.

A bit for drilling a wellbore includes: a shank (3) having a coupling formed at an upper end thereof; a bit body (2) mounted to a lower end of the shank; a gage section (5) forming an outer portion of the drill bit; and a cutting face (4) forming a lower end of the drill bit. The cutting face (4) includes: a plurality of blades (7p, 7s) protruding from the bit body, each blade extending from a center of the cutting face to the gage section; a plurality of shear cutters (8a, 8b) mounted along each blade; and a plurality of rolling cutters (9). Each rolling cutter includes: a housing (13) mounted to a respective blade; a seat (14) mounted in the housing; and a ball (12) kept between the housing and the seat and having a portion protruding from the housing.

A bottomhole assembly includes: a drill bit operable to vibrate when engaged with a formation and rotated; and a suspension sub including: a stator barrel for connection to a pipe string; a traveler barrel for connection to the drill bit; a slip joint longitudinally coupling the traveler barrel to the stator barrel while allowing movement of the traveler barrel between an extended position and a retracted position; a torsional joint connecting the traveler barrel to the stator barrel at and between the positions; and one or more springs disposed between the stator barrel and the traveler barrel. The suspension is tuned relative to the drill bit to: dampen the vibration of the drill bit when the BHA is rotated at a first angular velocity; and resonate the vibration of the drill bit when the BHA is rotated at a second angular velocity, thereby imparting percussive energy to the drill bit.

A bit for drilling with a casing or liner string includes: a tubular stem made from a high strength metal or alloy; a head: having a cutting face with an inner cone, an outer shoulder, and an intermediate nose between the cone and the shoulder; attached to an end of the stem; and made from a nonferrous metal or alloy; a plurality of blades formed integrally with the head, made from the nonferrous metal or alloy, and each extending from a center of the cutting face to the shoulder; a plurality of superhard cutters mounted along each blade; a plurality of gauge pads formed integrally with the stem; and a flush joint formed between each blade and a respective gauge pad. A yield strength of the high strength metal or alloy is at least twice a yield strength of the nonferrous metal or alloy.
摘要:
A method for testing thermal fatigue resistance of a shear cutter includes: engaging the shear cutter with a rotating target cylinder; moving the shear cutter along the rotating target cylinder until the shear cutter is heated to a threshold temperature; cooling the shear cutter in response to heating of the shear cutter to the threshold temperature; and repeating the heating and cooling of the shear cutter.
