    摘要: A method for determining depth in a wellbore uses inertial navigation in conjunction with a database having one or more measured parameters correlated with depth. The measured parameter may be the lengths of stands forming a drill string, prior survey data relating to a naturally occurring feature such as formation lithology, or data relating to a human made feature such as collars in a casing string. The downhole processor may use accelerometer measurements to calculate a measured depth of a BHA and access the database to retrieve a predicted depth that corresponds with one or more sensor measurements (e.g., motion indicating the addition of a stand to a drill string). Thereafter, if the downhole processor determines that the predicted depth is in agreement with the calculated depth, the processor stores the predicted depth and/or associates the predicted depth with directional surveys taken along the wellbore.

    摘要: The present invention comprises a rotary drill bit including a cutting structure comprising an array of cutting elements oriented and arranged to facilitate concentration of the load on bit on groups of cutting elements until the elements become dulled or worn, at which point fresh cutting elements are exposed to engage the formation and tube the concentrated bit loading. Preferably, the cutting elements are configured and/or supported to break away from the cutting structure when worn to a certain extent, thereby facilitating exposure of fresh cutting elements to engage the formation.

    摘要: An anti-whirl rotary drag bit including one or more cutters, wear knots or other support structures disposed on the flank of a bit profile in a normally cutter-devoid region of the profile adjacent the gage of the bit in the circumferential segment of the gage used as a bearing zone for the bit to ride against the side of the bore hole. Such flank cutters or other structures reduce wear of the bearing zone but, due to their placement, do not come into play except under certain drilling situations such as reaming or high rates of penetration wherein whirl tendencies resulting from cutting forces are not as pronounced.

    摘要: The flow of drilling fluid across the face of a rotating bit can be improved by disposition of jet nozzles in the middle of pads defined on the rotating bit rather than in or directly communicating with water courses in the bit. Drilling fluid is therefore ejected by the nozzle and flows in a plurality of directions across the face of the pad with a maximal velocity. Drilling fluid arriving in the proximity of the nozzle and provided from other sources in the bit is thus entrained within the drilling fluid which is ejected from the nozzle. This serves then to suction drilling fluid from these other sources. In particular, in a rotating bit having a pilot bit and main reamer bit, drilling fluid supplied to the pilot bit is directed toward a pilot bit junk slot in the immediate proximity of a nozzle disposed in the middle of a reamer lobe. Drilling fluid flowing down the pilot bit junk slot is entrained within drilling fluid ejected by the reamer nozzle. The combined fluid flows spread across the face of the reamer toward the main bit junk slots and gage broaches. Therefore, fluid is suctioned or drawn from and across the pilot bit by the reamer nozzles.
