摘要:
A roller cone drill bit for drilling earth formation includes rows arranged on each of the cones such that, when viewed in routed profile, cutting element profiles partially overlap other cutting element profiles. The roller cone drill bit having at least a first three interior rows adjacent a gage row, each have a cutting element count selected from the group of 16, 18, 21 and 26 cutting elements.

A rolling cone drill bit includes a cutter element having a cutting portion with a chisel crest and a pilot portion extending beyond the chisel crest. The pilot portion includes a cutting surface that may be generally conical, or form a second chisel crest. The cutting tip of the pilot portion is supported by buttress portions which emerge from and extend beyond the flanks of the chisel crest to provide additional strength and support for the material of the pilot portion that extends beyond the height of the chisel crest.

摘要:
A drill bit for drilling through earthen formations and forming a borehole. In an embodiment, the bit comprises a bit body having a bit axis. In addition, the bit comprises a plurality of cone cutters, each of the cone cutters being mounted on the bit body and adapted for rotation about a different cone axis. Further, at least one cone cutter on the bit comprises an array of cutter elements mounted in a band. Still further, the cutter elements in the array are mounted in a plurality of differing radial positions relative to the bit axis.

摘要:
A method for designing a roller cone drill bit having a plurality of cutting elements in a row. The method includes defining a pitch pattern for the plurality of cutting elements such that a first group of adjacent cutting elements are arranged in a first pitch and a second group of adjacent cutting elements are arranged in a second pitch in the row; evaluating the pitch pattern of the plurality of cutting elements in the row; and modifying at least one of the plurality of cutting elements, based on the evaluating the pitch pattern of the plurality of cutting elements.
摘要:
A method for evaluating a cutting arrangement for a drill bit includes selecting a cutting element arrangement for the drill bit and calculating a score for the cutting arrangement. This method may be used to evaluate the cutting efficiency of various drill bit designs. In one example, this method is used to calculate a score for an arrangement based on a comparison of an expected bottomhole pattern for the arrangement with a preferred bottomhole pattern. The use of this method has lead to roller cone drill bit designs that exhibit reduce tracking over prior art bits.
