    摘要: A rotary drill bit for drilling subterranean formations configured with at least one protective structure proximate to the rotationally leading and trailing edges of a gage trimmer, wherein the at least one protective structure is positioned at substantially the same exposure as its associated gage trimmer. Particularly, the apparatus of the present invention may provide protection for gage trimmers during drilling, tripping, and/or rotation within a casing; i.e., when changing a drilling fluid. Protective structures may be configured and located according to anticipated drilling conditions including helix angles. In addition, a protective structure may be proximate to more than one gage trimmer while having a substantially equal exposure to each associated gage trimmer. Methods of use and a method of rotary bit design are also disclosed.

    摘要: A drill bit employing a plurality of discrete, post-like diamond grit impregnated cutting structures extending upwardly from abrasive particulate-impregnated blades defining a plurality of fluid passages therebetween on the bit face. PDC cutters with faces oriented in the general direction of bit rotation are placed in the cone of the bit, which is relatively shallow, to promote enhanced drilling efficiency through softer, non-abrasive formations. A plurality of ports, configured to receive nozzles therein are employed for improved drilling fluid flow and distribution. The blades may extend radially in a linear fashion, or be curved and spiral outwardly to the gage to provide increased blade length and enhanced cutting structure redundancy.

    摘要: A cutting assembly comprised of first and second superabrasive cutting elements including at least one rotationally leading cutting element having a cutting face oriented generally in a direction of intended rotation of a bit on which the assembly is mounted to cut a subterranean formation with a cutting edge at an outer periphery of the cutting face, and a rotationally trailing cutting element oriented substantially transverse to the direction of intended bit rotation and including a relatively thick superabrasive table configured to cut the formation with a cutting edge located between a beveled surface at the side of the superabrasive table and an end face thereof. A rotationally trailing cutting element may be associated with and disposed at a location on the bit at least partially laterally intermediate locations of two rotationally leading cutting elements. Drill bits equipped with the cutting assembly are also disclosed.

    摘要: An earth-boring bit has a bit body and at least one cutter rotatably secured to the bit body. The cutter has a cutter shell surface including a gage surface intersecting a heel surface. A plurality of hard metal inserts are arranged in generally circumferential rows on the cutter and include a heel row of heel inserts on the heel surface of the cutter and a gage row of gage inserts on the gage surface of the cutter. At least one scraper insert, formed of material more wear-resistant than that of the cutter shell surface, is secured to the cutter shell surface generally at the intersection of the gage and heel surfaces. The scraper insert includes a gage and a heel insert surface. The gage and heel surfaces of the scraper insert converge to define a cutting edge for engagement with the sidewall of the borehole, the heel insert surface defining a positive rake angle with respect to the sidewall of the borehole of between 0 and 15 degrees. The cutting edge projects from the heel surface an amount not greater than the lesser of one-half the projection of the heel inserts from the heel surface and 30% of the pitch between the heel inserts.

    摘要: An earth-boring bit is provided with three cutters, two of the three cutters are provided with heel disk cutting elements defined by a pair of generally oppositely facing disk surfaces that generally continuously converge to define a circumferential heel disk crest. One of the two cutters having heel disk elements is further provided with an inner disk cutting element.
