摘要:
A retainer and guide ring includes a first ring half and a second ring half that when placed adjacent to one another forms a complete ring. The retainer and guide ring also includes a kerf that is formed between ends of each of the first and second ring halves, which ranges from about zero inches to about 0.010 inches. In some exemplary embodiments, the retainer and guide ring is formed by obtaining two identical rings and making a cut along an edge of the diameter on each ring thereby forming a larger ring arc and a smaller ring arc for each of the rings. The two larger ring arcs are used to form the retainer and guide ring. In another exemplary embodiment, the retainer and guide ring is formed by obtaining a single ring and making a cut along the diameter.

To address issues of durability of pressure compensation systems in roller cone rock bits, a composite diaphragm of a pressure compensation system for a roller cone drill bit includes an inner surface that defines an inner cavity and is formed of a first elastomeric material. The inner cavity is configured to serve as a lubricant reservoir. An external surface is disposed opposite the inner surface and is formed of a second elastomeric material that is different than the first elastomeric material.

A thermally stable polycrystalline diamond cutter and method for fabricating the same. The cutter includes a substrate and a cutting table bonded thereto. The cutting table includes a cutting surface, a first beveled edge, a second beveled edge, a side surface, and an opposing surface that is adjacent to the substrate. The first beveled edge extends outwardly at a first angle from the cutting surface towards the substrate. The second beveled edge extends outwardly at a second angle from the first beveled edge towards the substrate. The side surface extends from the second beveled edge to the opposing surface. The cutting table is formed from a polycrystalline diamond structure having interstitial spaces disposed therebetween and a catalyst material disposed within the spaces in an untreated layer and not within a treated layer. The untreated layer includes the entire side surface.
摘要:
An apparatus that includes one or more flow channels and method for fabricating such flow channels. The apparatus includes a body, one or more blades from one end of the body, and a corresponding gauge section disposed adjacently and in alignment with a respective blade. Each gauge section includes a leading section, a trailing section, a face section extending from one end of the leading section to an end of the trailing section, and at least one flow channel extending from the leading edge section to at least one of the trailing edge section or the face section.

An apparatus that includes one or more machined high-angle sockets and method for fabricating such sockets. The apparatus includes a body, one or more blades extending outwardly from the body, and one or more high-angle nozzles machined into a portion of the blade. The body includes a bit face at one end and a plenum formed therein communicably coupled to an opening formed at an opposing end. Each blade includes a leading section, a trailing section, a face section extending from one end of the leading section to an end of the trailing section, and an inner section extending from an opposing end of the leading section to an opposing end of the trailing section. Each nozzle includes a nozzle socket cavity and a second hole intersecting with the nozzle socket cavity and extending to the plenum, which collectively form a passage extending from the plenum to the bit face.

A fixed cutter bit for milling a frac plug includes a body and a face. The face includes a base surface and a plurality of cutter support structures extending from the base surface. Each cutter support structure has a peripheral portion and an inner portion disposed radially internal of the peripheral portion. At least one first-type cutter is supported by each peripheral portion; at least one second-type cutter is supported by each inner portion. The first type cutter is adapted to mill a harder material than the second-type cutter, and the first-type is different from the second-type.

A roller cutter drill bit with mixed bearing types includes a bit body with at least one journal facet and a cavity facet. A cavity extends into the bit body from the cavity facet. The bit body is configured to rotate about a bit axis during drilling. A journal extends outward from the at least one journal facet. A first rotatable cutter that supports a first plurality of cutting structures has a journal portion received by the cavity. A second rotatable cutter that supports a second plurality of cutting structures has a cavity portion that is receives the journal.
摘要:
A repaired polycrystalline diamond cutter and method for fabricating the same. The cutter includes a damaged substrate that includes at least one void therein, a polycrystalline diamond table coupled to the damaged substrate, and a build-up compound disposed within the voids formed about the damaged substrate. The damaged substrate and the build-up compound collectively form a full circumference. The method includes obtaining a damaged cutter that includes a polycrystalline diamond table coupled to a damaged substrate having at least one void formed therein, bonding a build-up compound within the at least one void and forming a processed PDC cutter, and removing a portion of the build-up compound from the processed PDC cutter and forming the repaired cutter.

A bit body for a drill bit for horizontal directional drilling includes a pair of legs and a small wedge member disposed between the pair of legs. A roller cone is rotatably mounted to each bearing shaft extending from a respective leg. The roller cones support full coverage cutting structures. A center jet nozzle is configured to direct drilling fluid between the pair of roller cones. A stabilizer member maintains an upright drilling position of the drill bit within the borehole.
