    摘要: A method includes acquiring an image of a cutter on a drill bit, determining a cutter dull condition based on the image of the cutter using a machine-learning method, wherein the machine-learning method is trained using a set of training images and a set of known cutter dull conditions, wherein each of the set of known cutter dull conditions is associated with one or more of a set of cutters depicted in the set of training images and determining a cutter degradation severity based the image of the cutter. The method also includes generating bit modification instructions based the cutter dull condition and the cutter degradation severity.

    摘要: Provided are systems and methods for wellbore drilling and, more particularly, example embodiments may use of one or more cutting elements including a cutting face with one or more channels capable of steering chip cuttings into an intended direction off of the cutting face of the cutting element for drilling operations. A method may comprise rotating a drill bit to extend a wellbore into a subterranean formation, flowing a drilling fluid through the drill bit, and directing a plurality of formation cuttings away from one or more cutting elements of the drill bit by moving the cuttings along one or more channels on at least a portion of a cutting face of the one or more cutting elements.

    摘要: The microstructure of braze joints in polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) cutters may be tailored to increase the shear strength of the braze joint, for example, by increasing the amount of a dispersed particulate microstructure therein. A method for forming a dispersed particulate microstructure may include brazing a polycrystalline diamond table to a hard composite substrate with a braze alloy at a braze temperature between 5° C. above a solidus temperature of the braze alloy and 200° C. above a liquidus temperature of the braze alloy; and forming a braze joint between the polycrystalline diamond table and the hard composite substrate that comprises at least 40% by volume of the dispersed particulate microstructure composed of a particulate inter-metallic phase having a diameter of 0.5 μm to 2.0 μm and an aspect ratio of 1 to 5 dispersed in a ductile matrix.

    摘要: Systems and methods are disclosed for a rotating superhard cutting element. The rotating cutting element includes a substrate comprising a rotating portion and a stable portion. The stable portion has a cavity and is configured to be fixed to a blade of a drill bit. The rotating cutting element further includes a retainer that rotatably secures the rotating portion of the substrate in the cavity of the stable portion of the substrate, and a cutting layer on the rotating portion of the substrate. The cutting layer has a plurality of cutting surfaces. One of the plurality of cutting surfaces has a property different from another one of the plurality of cutting surfaces. The cutting layer is configured to rotate with respect to the stable portion of the substrate and use one of the plurality of cutting surfaces based on a characteristic of a formation to be cut.
