摘要:
A fixed-head drill bit includes a bit body having a plurality of cutting elements and at least one wear knuckle disposed on the bit body. Each cutting element includes a cutting surface defining a swept cutting profile when the bit is rotated about an axis. The at least one wear knuckle is positioned at least partially within and extending at least partially outside a selected one or more of the swept cutting profiles, allowing the fixed-head drill bit to wear into a more stable configuration.

A fixed cutter drill bit and a method for designing a fixed cutter drill bit includes simulating the fixed cutter drill bit drilling in an earth formation. A performance characteristic of the simulated fixed cutter drill bit is determined. A side rake angle distribution of the cutters is adjusted at least along a cone region of a blade of the fixed cutter drill bit to change the performance characteristic of the fixed cutter drill bit.

摘要:
A method for improving drilling performance of a drilling tool assembly is disclosed. The method includes identifying a drilling performance parameter to be improved. One or more potential solutions are defined to improve the drilling performance parameter. A drilling simulation is performed to determine the dynamic response of the drilling tool assembly during a drilling operation. Determining the dynamic response includes determining the interaction of a cutting element of a drill bit with an earth formation. Improvement in the drilling performance parameter is determined based upon the drilling simulation.
