Definitions

  • the invention is related to the field of earth boring tools, and in particular rotating drag bits having large polycrystalline diamond compact cutters or other large composite-type cutters of similar materials for use in drilling in shale, clay and other sticky formations, sometimes referred to as "gumbo".
  • Such prior art cutters include impregnated diamond blade cutters, sintered diamond compact cutters, such as manufactured by General Electric Co. under the trademark “Compax”, are limited in size, typically being equal to or less than 13.3 mm in diameter. Therefore, in order to obtain the cutter sizes required or desirable for sticky drilling, impregnated diamond elements are used such as shown by Short, "Blade-Type Drill Bit", U.S. Patent 3,153,458 (1964), and Feenstra, supra .
  • the invention is an improvement in a rotating bit for cutting a plastic formation comprising a plurality of polycrystalline diamond cutters. At least one cutter has a large diamond cutting surface which is at least as large as a three quarter inch diameter circle.
  • the nozzle defines a directed hydraulic flow to the large cutter. The flow directed by the nozzle is arranged and configured to apply a force to the chip which is cut by the large cutter. The force tends to peel the chip from the face of the cutter. As a result, the plastic formation is cut with little tendency of the bit to ball.
  • the bit comprises a plurality of the large cutters and a corresponding plurality of the nozzles. At least one nozzle is provided for each large cutter and provides the directed hydraulic flow to each cutter face.
  • the nozzle directs the hydraulic flow to the cutter face of the large cutter into the proximity of the center of gravity of the chip.
  • the nozzle directs the hydraulic flow into the proximity of the center of gravity of the chip and radially inward of the center of gravity of the chip. A torque is thus applied to the chip tending to peel the chip off the cutting face of the large cutter toward the gage of the bit.
  • the directed flow of the nozzle is characterized by a jet.
  • One feature of the jet is an inner core with a length of four to seven times the outer diameter of the orifice of the nozzle. In the core, the center line velocity remains virtually equal to the exit velocity.
  • Another feature of the jet is the width of the jet and pressure cone associated with it which is approximately two times the outer diameter of the nozzle when the core is at full length. See generally, "Preliminary Analysis of a Free Jet From a Circular Nozzle," M. B. Friedman, DTC Hydraulics Consultant, Technical Note No.1, September 21, 1984.
  • the jet is defined by flow of hydraulic fluid from the nozzle in a direction and velocity primarily determined by the orientation of the nozzle.
  • the core is substantially symmetric about a longitudinal axis.
  • the jet has a width perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and a length along the longitudinal axis. That point on the longitudinal axis of the jet most distant from the nozzle is defined as an impact point of the jet.
  • the impact point of the jet is directed toward a location proximate to attachment of the chip to the rock formation.
  • the impact point of the jet is at least within 0.4 to 0.7 inch of the center of gravity of the corresponding chip for the illustrated design. This should not be construed as a limiting factor however. The essence of this approach is to aggressively or pointedly attack the chip with the drilling fluid. It is entirely within the scope and spirit of the invention that jet characteristics and relationship to the cutter and chip may be entirely outside the optimal ranges set forth above. In fact, the cutters may be nearly as effective with a nonoptimal jet as with an optimal jet, although it is expected that optimal jets and jet relationships to the cutters will produce better results.
  • the longitudinal axis of the jet can be disposed at least at one point between the chip and cutting face of the corresponding cutter if so desired.
  • the invention is also a method for removing chips cut from a formation by a bit having a center and gage comprising the steps of cutting a chip by a cutter, directing a defined hydraulic flow toward the chip, and applying a force from the hydraulic flow to the chip in a direction away from the cutter which is cutting the chip to thereby peel the chip off the cutter.
  • the formation is drilled without substantial risk of balling the bit.
  • the force is applied at a point into the proximity of the center of gravity of the chip to thereby generate a torque on the chip.
  • the torque is applied to the chip and peels the chip from the cutter toward the gage.
  • the chip is cut by a cutter having a cutting surface with an area at least as great as a circle 0.75 inch in diameter.
  • the invention is also an improvement in a rotating bit having a bit face and gage comprising at least one junk slot defined in the gage of the bit.
  • the junk slot has a compound profile along its longitudinal length opposite the gage.
  • the compound profile includes at least two distinct cross-sectional configurations perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the junk slot, and a smooth hydrodynamic transition being provided between the at least two distinct profiles.
  • the two profiles of the junk slot comprise a symmetric profile and asymmetric profile.
  • the symmetric profile is longitudinally defined within the junk slot farther from the bit face than the asymmetric profile.
  • At least one portion of the asymmetric profile is identical to the symmetric profile.
  • An improved rotating drag bit for cutting plastic, sticky, water reactive clays and shales is devised by providing a plurality of large diamond cutters having a circular cutting face equal to or in excess of 0.75 inch in diameter.
  • the cutters are approximately one inch in diameter or larger.
  • Each large cutter is provided with at least one hydraulic nozzle which in turn provides a directed hydraulic flow at the corresponding cutter face.
  • the directed hydraulic flow is positioned to apply a force to the chip which tends to hydraulically separate the chip away from the cutter face.
  • the hydraulic flow is positioned with respect to the chip so as to apply an off-center torque to the chip which is used to peel the chip away from the cutter face and toward the gage of the bit.
  • the nozzle defines a jet which is characterized by a direction and velocity of hydraulic fluid determined by the jet characteristics.
  • the core is generally symmetric about its longitudinal axis and has a length along the longitudinal axis and width perpendicular thereto.
  • the point of the jet most distant from the nozzle defines an impact point of the jet against the formation, the chip and/or cutter face.
  • the longitudinal axis of the jet is chosen so that at least a portion of the jet can lie between the cutter face and the chip as it is being peeled from the cutter. Hydraulic removal of the chips is further facilitated by a plurality of junk slots having a contoured compound surface.
  • a rotating drill bit is provided with a large diamond compact slug, typically of one to two inches in diameter or greater, each of which is provided with at least one hydraulic nozzle.
  • Hydraulic fluid is directed under pressure from the nozzle to a predetermined point with respect to the corresponding large diamond cutter and its corresponding chip.
  • the fluid flow from the nozzle is focussed or has a point of maximum impulsive impact at a predetermined point positioned with respect to the rock chip cut by the corresponding cutter so that a force is applied to the chip to separate it from the diamond cutter by hydraulic differential unloading and/or applying an unbalanced torque to the chip.
  • the focal point of the stream of hydraulic fluid from the nozzle is directed at a point at or near the base and to the inside of attachment or adhesion of the rock chip to the face of the diamond cutter.
  • Figure 1 What is shown in Figure 1 is a plan view of the settings of the large diamond compact cutters on the face of a bit as seen looking into a mold in which such a diamond bit would be made by matrix infiltration.
  • the bit generally denoted by reference numeral 10
  • the bit is characterized by an exterior cylindrical surface or gage 12 terminated on its lowermost portion by a bit face, generally denoted by reference numeral 14.
  • gage 12 defines a plurality of junk slots 16 and 18.
  • Junk slots 16 are distinguishable from junk slots 18 in that junk slots 16 have a uniform contour as opposed to a contoured or compound surface within junk slots 18 as will be described below.
  • FIG. 1 a 12 1/4 inch diameter bit is illustrated in which nine large cutters 21-29 will be formed.
  • each cutter is shown in midline cross-sectional view with the diamond cutter in place.
  • the diamond slugs may be fixed or brazed into the bit in a later step, and would not be seen in place in the mold as depicted in Figure 1.
  • Figure 1 illustrates the diamond cutters in place as would be seen looking downward through the diamond bit toward the rock formation. In reality in a top plan view of a mold, only the pockets into which the diamond slugs were later brazed would be seen.
  • each cutter is a nozzle 31-39 which provides a directed flow as also described more completely below.
  • Nozzle 31 thus provides directed flow for cutter 21, nozzle 32 for cutter 22 and so forth through nozzle 39 and cutter 29.
  • a plurality of gage cutters 40 are defined within the shoulder and gage of bit 10 as better depicted and described below in connection with Figure 2, but which are also illustrated in Figure 1 in a sometimes overlying relationship. The depiction in Figure 1 of gage cutters 40 appears to be overlying since the cutters, which may be vertically separated, are superimposed in the diagrammatic view of Figure 1.
  • gage defining cutters 40 are comprised of conventionally fabricated Stratapax or Compax cutters and can, by virtue of their relative scale to cutters 21-29, provide a relative feel for the sizes of cutters 21-29.
  • gage defining cutters 40 usually represented the largest integral diamond compacts then available for cutting in shale or plastic formations.
  • gage defining cutters 40 now serve only a secondary cutting function as gage defining cutters.
  • Cutter 24 is chosen for the purposes of example.
  • Cutter 24 comprises a tungsten carbide slug 44 1.50 inches in diameter and approximately 0.3 inch thick.
  • Mounted in the face of the slug 44 is an integral diamond compact table 46.
  • Diamond table 46 and slug 44 are manufactured and bonded together within a diamond press and are sold as such a unit by De Beers of South Africa.
  • Diamond table 46 has a diameter substantially equal to that of slug 44.
  • Substrate or carrier 45 is brazed into pocket 48.
  • Slug 44 is then brazed into pocket 48 in front of substrate 45.
  • Pocket 48 is formed in an island 50 which is a grooved projection of the basic body 14.
  • De Beers supplies slug 44 and table 46 as an integral unit. This unit has a longitudinal thickness of approximately 8 mm (0.315 inch) and lacks sufficient thickness for adequate shock protection and load resistance.
  • cutters 21-29 of the embodiment of Figure 1 have a predetermined rake angle of diamond table 46 as determined by a milled-in rake angle of island 50.
  • each cutter 21-29 has been shown only in a midline section for the sake of clarity. Therefore it must be kept in mind that portions of the face of diamond table 46 actually extend both in front of and behind the midsection line shown in Figure 1 for each cutter 21-29 by an amount depending on the rake angle of each cutter.
  • the preferred embodiment is a diamond compact disc brazed into a pocket with a support or carrier.
  • the cutter can have different shapes, e.g. triangular, hexagonal, square, or octagonal.
  • the cutter can be composed of thermally stable diamond or some other material such as silicon carbide, tungsten carbide, or boron carbide.
  • the cutter can be furnaced with the bit body in order to attach it to the bit. What is disclosed here is a large cutter with at least one directed nozzle providing cleaning and cooling of the cutter.
  • cutter 24 and nozzle 34 depicted in Figure 1 Listed below in Table 1 is a summary of cutter locations. The locations listed above are the locations which are machined in the graphite mold from which the bit is made. After furnacing, these locations are reduced a small amount due to shrinkage upon cooling.
  • Cutter 24 has the center of its midline section of diamond table 46 at a radial distance of 3.75 inch from the center of bit 10 prior to shrinkage. Taking the center of cutter 21 as an arbitrary reference point of 0 degrees, the azimuthal position of the center of cutter 24 appears at an angular position of 28 degrees.
  • Face 46 of cutter 24 is not parallel to a radius, but has a side rake of 5 degrees.
  • cutter 24 has been rotated so that face 46 is not aligned with the radius but is rotated or canted counterclockwise by 5 degrees in a plane parallel to the bit profile.
  • the back rake of cutter 24 is 10 degrees, although not shown in the figures.
  • the diamond face 46 of cutter 24 were shown in three dimensions, a rotation perpendicular to the bit profile as shown in Figure 1 of 10 degrees would be observed.
  • Nozzle 34 has its center at a radial displacement of 3.20 inch from the center of bit 10.
  • Arrow 68 diagrammatically represents the direction of hydraulic flow of nozzle 34.
  • the azimuthal position of the center of nozzle 34 is at an azimuthal angle of 14 degrees, as denoted by angle alpha in Table 2, again from a reference line of the face of cutter 1.
  • the angular offset of the direction of hydraulic flow denoted by arrow 68 is then 61 degrees offset from the reference direction.
  • nozzle 34 is tilted from the vertical axis, the longitudinal axis of bit 10, by 35 degrees in a direction which is perpendicular to the plane of the drawing of Figure 1 .
  • FIG. 3 is a plan diagrammatic view of a cutter, such as cutter 24.
  • Substrate 44 behind and bonded to diamond table 46 is shown in diagrammatic top plan view and immediately behind a chip 56 being cut from the rock formation.
  • chip 56 is sheared from the rock formation, generally denoted by reference numeral 58. Since formation 58 is sticky or plastic, chip 56 remains substantially intact and will generally move upward across diamond face 46 of cutter 24 and normally tends to adhere to face 46.
  • Nozzle 34 corresponding to cutter 24, provides a directed flow of hydraulic fluid to form a jet 60 shown in Figure 4.
  • Jet 60 is characterized by a region of hydraulic flow which has a direction and velocity principally determined by nozzle 34.
  • core 61 has a length denoted by dimension 62 in Figure 4 of four to seven times the outer diameter of the orifice of nozzle 34 and a pressure cone associated with the jet with a width, denoted by reference numeral 64 approximately two times the outer diameter of the orifice of nozzle 34.
  • core 61 has a tip 66 which defines an impact point of jet 60.
  • core 61 is generally symmetric about a longitudinal axis 68 from the center of nozzle 34 to impact point 66. Impact point 66 can be characterized as the point of primary or maximized force furtherest away from the orifice of the corresponding nozzle.
  • axis 68 of jet 60 is directed to the base of chip 56 so that the impact point will lie near the base of chip 56, typically within the lower half of diamond face 46 and offset from the center of chip 56 or face 46.
  • impact point 66 will lie at a distance of 0.4 to 0.7 inches away from the center of gravity 70 of chip 56 as depicted in Figure 4. This imparts or tends to impart a force which pries off chip 56 from diamond face 46 as depicted in Figures 3 and 4. Otherwise, chip 56 would generally be tightly adhered to diamond face 46.
  • a torque also tends to be applied to chip 56 by virtue of the moment arm between impact point 66 and center of gravity 70. Therefore, chip 56 also tends to be twisted off or peeled off face 46.
  • torque applied to each chip 56 on each cutter and chip is directed to peel chips 56 toward gage 12 of bit 10.
  • Figure 2 is a diagrammatic cross-sectional depiction of half of the profile of bit 10 showing each of the circular diamond faces 46 of cutters 21-29 superimposed on the profile as would be obtained after a full revolution of bit 10.
  • cutters 21-29 provide overlapping coverage from center line 72 of bit 10 to gage 12.
  • the outermost cutters 27-29 provide triple redundancy at gage 12 where cutting rates and impact shocks are generally highest.
  • the density of cutter overlap can be seen to increase toward gage 12. In other words, a greater fraction of the cutting face of cutter 26 overlaps with the cutting faces of cutters 27-29 than does the degree of overlap between the cutting faces of cutters 21 and 22.
  • Figure 2 also illustrates the vertical dispersion of gage protection cutters 40.
  • Each of the full cutters 40 is provided with triple redundancy on bit 10 with the exception of fractional cutters 40a, which have been cut by laser cutting or EDM to comprise a portion of the full disc with a flat edge 74 directed outwardly to define gage 12.
  • a sixfold redundancy of cutters 40a is provided on bit 10. Cutters 40 and 40a do not actively cut the formation. They insure the hole size is maintained. They do not cut the bottomhole, and do not require direct cleaning.
  • cutter 24 As is each cutter, is associated with an imaginary line 76 along which the center of gravity of chip 56 will be positioned. The exact point of the center of gravity of chip 56 along line 76 will depend upon the depth of cut as well as upon the amount of cutter remaining after wear. Thus line 76 represents the locus of the center of gravity of chip 56 over time. Similarly, the projection of axis 68 of hydraulic jet 60 onto the cutting face of cutter 24 defines an imaginary line 78.
  • line 78 which is indicative of the center of effort of jet 60, lies inboard of line 76 representing the position on the center of gravity of chip 56.
  • line 78 representative of the center force of jet 60 lies inboard of its corresponding line 76.
  • nozzles 31-39 are replaceable from the exterior of bit face 14. Therefore, sufficient space must be provided between each nozzle 31-39 and it corresponding cutter 21-29 to allow insertion and removal of the nozzle and to allow the use of appropriate tools.
  • the nozzles are permanently fixed or are removable from the interior of bit 10, it may be possible that the variation of the distance between impact point 66 and corresponding cutter faces 46 as shown in Figure 1 would not occur. The fluid can actually impact cutter face 46 between the cutter and chip 56 if so desired.
  • the junk slot is characterized by having at least two distinct cross-sectional profiles, namely a symmetric profile at its upper portion farthest from the bit face and an asymmetric profile along its lower portion.
  • the asymmetric and symmetric profiles are connected by a surface providing a smooth hydrodynamic transition.
  • Junk slot 18 is a longitudinal cavity defined within gage 12 to facilitate removal of cut material.
  • junk slot 18 is characterized by a first asymmetric profile shown in dotted outline in Figure 1 as portion 80.
  • the upper portion of junk slot 18, furthest away from the face 14, has a distinct second profile 82 as depicted in solid outline in Figure 1.
  • the lower section of junk slot 18 has a nonuniform asymmetric profile 80 while the upper section has a substantially uniform symmetric profile 82.
  • the transition between profiles 80 and 82 within the middle region of junk slot 18 is smoothed so that cross sections (not shown) would reflect a smooth hydrodynamic transition between the dramatically different profiles 80 and 82.
  • first profile 80 has been shown with a wedge shaped leading portion, which transitions to a full depth, following portion which is equivalent to second profile 82. It is entirely within the scope of the invention that profile 80 may be reversed, namely having a full depth leading profile transitioning to a wedged-shaped following portion.
  • any junk slot profile known in the art in addition to profiles 80 and 82 illustrated in Figure 1, may be used or variously combined with each other as may be desired.
  • the longitudinal relationship of the portions may be reversed if desired.
  • asymmetric profile 80 may characterize the upper section of junk slot 18, while full portion 82 would characterize the lower section nearest bit face 14.
