摘要:
A rolling cone drill bit for drilling in earthen formations having a plurality of rolling cone cutters. Each cone cutter includes a plurality of gage cutting elements, a first plurality of bottomhole cutting elements, and a second plurality of bottomhole cutter elements. Each of the first plurality of bottomhole cutting elements is staggered relative to the gage cutting elements on each cone cutter. Each of the second plurality of bottomhole cutting elements is staggered relative to the first plurality of bottomhole cutting elements on at least one cone cutter.

A rolling cone drill bit for drilling in earthen formations. In an embodiment, the drill bit comprises a plurality of rolling cone cutters. Each cone cutter includes a plurality of gage cutting elements, a first plurality of bottomhole cutting elements, and a second plurality of bottomhole cutter elements. Each of the first plurality of bottomhole cutting elements is staggered relative to the gage cutting elements on each cone cutter, and the profiles of the gage cutting elements and the first plurality of bottomhole cutting elements on each cone cutter overlap in rotated profile view. Each of the second plurality of bottomhole cutting elements is staggered relative to the first plurality of bottomhole cutting elements on at least one cone cutter, and the profiles of the first plurality of bottomhole cutting elements and the second plurality of bottomhole cutting elements on at least one cone cutter overlap in rotated profile view.
摘要:
A rolling cone drill bit comprises a bit body and a plurality of rolling cone cutters mounted on the bit body. Each cone cutter includes a plurality of gage cutting elements. Each gage cutting element has a cutting portion extending from a base portion to an extension height. Further, each gage cutting element contacts a gage curve at a gage curve contact point in a composite rotated profile view. Each gage cutting element has a cross-sectional area A1 in a first offset reference plane parallel to a base reference plane and offset from the base reference plane by an offset distance d1 equal to 10% of the extension height. The ratio of A1 to a cross-sectional area Ab of the base portion of each gage cutting element is less than 11%.
