Earth-boring tools include wear-resistant materials disposed in at least one recess formed in an exterior surface of a body thereof. Exposed surfaces of the wear-resistant material are substantially level with exterior surfaces of the body adjacent the wear-resistant material. In some embodiments, recesses may be formed in formation-engaging surfaces of blades of earth-boring rotary tools, adjacent one or more inserts secured to bodies of earth-boring tools, or adjacent one or more cutting elements secured to bodies of earth-boring tools. Methods of forming earth-boring tools include filling one or more recesses formed in an exterior surface of a body with wear-resistant material and causing exposed surfaces of the wear-resistant material to be substantially level with the exterior surface of the body.

A rotary drag bit includes a primary cutter row comprising at least one primary cutter, and at least two additional cutters configured relative to one another. In one embodiment, the cutters are backup cutters of a cutter group located in respective first and second trailing cutter rows, oriented relative to one another, and positioned to substantially follow the at least one primary cutter. The rotary drag bit life is extended by the backup cutter group, making the bit more durable and extending the life of the cutters. In other of the embodiments, the cutters are configured to selectively engage a subterranean formation material being drilled, providing improved bit life and reduced stress upon the cutters. Still other embodiments of rotary drag bits include backup cutter configurations having different backrake angles and siderake angles, including methods therefor.

摘要:
A fixed cutter rotary drill bit having gauge cutting elements at large back rake angles are disclosed. The gauge is located at the outer diameter side wall portion of the bit that extends from the cutting end. The gauge and its cutting components contact the side wall of the bore hole during drilling operations. The gauge cutting elements may be configured at a back rake angle in a range of about 40° to 70°.

Systems, program product, and methods are provided which include analyzing the drillability of a subterranean formation and a database of performance characteristics for drilling bits to facilitate bit design optimization and selection for that formation. Using component subterranean formation data, computer models can be generated for the drillability of a target section in terms of physical, mechanical, and micro-structural properties, and for postulated suitable drilling bit performance characteristics based on physical, mechanical, and micro-structural properties of the target section. The drilling bit performance characteristics are then updated by quantifying effects of the drilling system to be employed. Each performance characteristic can be normalized and plotted on its own axis for easy comparison. Next, a candidate drilling bit design is selected from a library of computer models of drilling bit characteristics for a suite of drilling bit designs. An optimization of the drilling bit design may be also performed.
