摘要: A drill bit design generator uses drill bit metrics to generate drill bit designs with reduced 3D coupled vibration. The drill bit design generator generates an initial set of drill bit designs that are simulated in a deployed or artificial environment. Simulated drill bits according to the initial drill bit designs have gyroscopic sensors that detect the presence of 3D coupled vibration. A drill bit simulator tracks metrics such as side cutting efficiency and drilling efficiency during simulations and correlates these metrics with 3D coupled vibration. The drill bit design generator determines thresholds for these metrics using correlations with 3D coupled vibration and generates updated/new drill bit designs using the metric thresholds.

摘要: The present disclosure relates to an earth-boring drill bit including a shank, an internal region formed from at least a first alloy using additive manufacturing and secured to the shank, and an exterior region formed from at least a second alloy using additive manufacturing and secured to the internal region using additive manufacturing. The first alloy and the second alloy have a different modulus of elasticity, yield strength, resilience, ductility, hardness, fracture toughness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, or erosion resistance. The disclosure further includes a method of manufacturing such an earth-boring drill by depositing a plurality of layers according to a drill bit specification using additive manufacturing.

摘要: A drill bit for removing subterranean formation material in a borehole comprises a bit body comprising a longitudinal axis, a plurality of blades extending radially outward from the longitudinal axis along a face region of the bit body and extending axially along a gauge region of the bit body, and an insert coupled to at least one blade in the gauge region. The insert comprises an elongated body having an upper surface, a lower surface, and a longitudinal axis extending centrally therethrough and intersecting the upper and lower surfaces. The upper surface comprises a bearing surface for supporting for the drill bit and providing a surface on which the subterranean formation being drilled rubs against the insert without exceeding the compressive strength of the selected formation. The insert is coupled to the blade such that the upper surface thereof extends radially beyond an outer surface of the blade and the lower surface thereof extends radially below the outer surface of the blade.

摘要: A well drilling bit for drilling bedrocks includes a columnar bit body, and a drilling fluid flow path formed in the bit body to wash away drilled cuttings from a bottomhole and/or a periphery of the bit body. The flow path is provided with a venturi mechanism including a venturi tube having a reduced-diameter portion where a cross sectional area is reduced and capable of generating a decompression region around a tip of the bit body, the decompression region being more decompressed than a surrounding by the Venturi effect.

摘要: A method for drilling a well includes applying energy input to a drill string (31) by at least one of rotating the drill string (31) from surface and operating a drilling motor (41) disposed in the drill string (31) to operate a drill bit (2) at a bottom of the drill string (31); an amount of the applied energy not consumed in drilling formations caused by at least one of motion, deformation, and interaction of the drill string (31) is calculated; an amount of the applied energy used to drill formations below the drill bit (2) is calculated; and at least one drilling operating parameter is adjusted based on energy calculation before or during drilling operation.

摘要: Embodiments of the invention relate to polycrystalline diamond compacts (“PDCs”) including a polycrystalline diamond (“PCD”) table having a structure for enhancing at least one of abrasion resistance, thermal stability, or impact resistance. In an embodiment, a PDC includes a PCD table. The PCD table includes a lower region including a plurality of diamond grains exhibiting a lower average grain size and at least an upper region adjacent to the lower region and including a plurality of diamond grains exhibiting an upper average grain size. The lower average grain size may be at least two times greater than that of the upper average grain size. The PDC includes a substrate having an interfacial surface that is bonded to the lower region of the PCD table. Other embodiments are directed methods of forming PDCs, and various applications for such PDCs in rotary drill bits, bearing apparatuses, and wire-drawing dies.

摘要: A rotatable cutter may comprise a rotatable element, a stationary element, and a releasable interface. The releasable interface may be configured to substantially inhibit rotation of the rotatable element when the rotatable element and the stationary element are at least in partial contact. An earth-boring tool may include one or more rotatable elements.

摘要: A rolling element assembly includes a rolling element rotatable about a rotational axis when positioned within a cavity defined on a bit body of a drill bit, and a compliant retainer positioned within a retainer slot defined in the bit body. A biasing device is positioned within a device pocket defined within the bit body to bias the compliant retainer against the outer circumferential surface of the rolling element. The compliant retainer secures the rolling element within the cavity while an arcuate portion of the rolling element protrudes from the cavity and exposes a full axial width of the rolling element.
