Definitions
- THIS invention relates to tool inserts and more particularly tool inserts which can be used as cutting elements in rotary drilling bits intended for subterranean rock drilling.
- diamond compacts also known as PCD
- PCD diamond compacts
- cutters in drilling operations is well known due to the high abrasion resistant properties of diamond cutters. It is also well established that diamond cutters cannot be used satisfactorily for milling or drilling through ferrous substrates such as steel. Therein lies a problem in the use of diamond cutters in certain down the hole drilling operations, particularly with regard to subterranean directional drilling, such as drilling horizontally into a rockbed from an underground location in a vertical borehole or shaft.
- a steel casing is typically positioned down the vertical borehole or shaft, creating a lining therefor in the region requiring horizontal drilling.
- a deflector which is positioned adjacent the position where horizontal drilling is to be carried out. The function of the deflector, which is generally wedge-shaped, is to cause the drill to change direction and begin milling through the steel casing to create a window to the bedrock.
- tungsten carbide cutters are typically used in the drill bit to mill through the steel casing. Once through the casing, the tungsten carbide inserts have to be replaced with abrasive resistant cutters such as diamond cutters in order to drill into the bedrock. This means that the drill bit has to be removed and replaced with an appropriate bit. As the drill strings that have to be removed are very long, this is a time consuming exercise that results in costly downtime.
- US-A-5 979 571 which is considered the closest prior art, discloses a combination metal milling and earth drilling tool, for use in performing a single trip kickoff from a casing in a well bore.
- the combination milling and drilling tool has a first, relatively more durable cutting structure, such as tungsten carbide, and a second, relatively harder cutting structure, such as polycrystalline diamond.
- the more durable first cutting structure is better suited for milling metal casing, while the harder second cutting structure is better suited for drilling through a subterranean formation, especially a rock formation.
- the first cutting structure is positioned outwardly relative to the second cutting structure, so that the first cutting structure will mill through the metal casing while shielding the second cutting structure from contact with the casing.
- the first cutting structure can wear away while milling through the casing and upon initial contact with the rock formation, thereby exposing the second cutting structure to contact with the rock formation.
- the second cutting structure can then be used to drill through the rock formation.
- US-A-2001/0035302 discloses a dual function drag bit that is used in a method for both milling well casing or liner and subsequently drilling rock formation without the sequential removal of a milling assembly and replacement with a drilling assembly.
- the method employs a cutting tool that is capable of both milling steel pipe casing in a well bore and subsequently drilling rock formation outside the well bore after passing through the casing.
- an insert embedded into the surface of the cutting tool comprises at least an outer layer, such as cemented tungsten carbide, capable of milling steel casing, and at least a second layer, such as polycrystalline diamond, capable of drilling formation, the two layers being bonded together and to a carbide substrate.
- inserts with a polycrystalline diamond cutting face for drilling rock formation are in parallel with cemented tungsten carbide cutters for milling steel casing.
- a tool insert comprises:
- a tool insert comprises:
- a method of drilling a horizontal or angled hole in a subterranean rock formation includes the steps of:
- the above method can also be used for the drilling of multiple directional holes from a central vertical borehole.
- a drill assembly 10 consists of a rotary drill string 12 and a rotary drill bit 14, of the drag bit kind in this case.
- the drill bit 14 is directed down a passage 16 within a steel tubular casing 18.
- the steel casing 18 is anchored in a borehole or shaft 20 drilled into a subterranean bedrock or rock formation 22.
- a deflector 26 which is attached to the casing 18 and which has previously been positioned adjacent the region 'X', causes the bit 14 to change direction in this manner.
- the deflector 26 is supported by an anchor 28.
- the layer of ultra-hard abrasive material will generally be a layer of PCD, although under appropriate conditions PCBN may also be used.
- the layer may also be a layer of diamond produced by chemical vapour deposition, called CVD diamond.
- the substrate of the tool insert will generally be a cemented carbide substrate.
- Such substrates are well known in the art and are generally cemented tungsten carbide substrates.
- the protective layer which may be an extension of the substrate or a separate layer, will also generally be of cemented tungsten carbide, although it may be of a different grade to that of the substrate. In certain instances, the protective layer may be formed of tool steel or other appropriate material suited to milling through steel or other material used for the casing or lining.
- a cemented carbide substrate 40 has a planar base surface 42 and an upper surface 44.
- a centrally located recess 46 is formed in the upper surface 44.
- the recess 46 is surrounded by an annular region 48 and has a surface 50. Although the recess 46 is centrally located in this embodiment, it could also be positioned off centre.
- the recess 46 is filled with diamond particles. Thereafter, the diamond-filled substrate 40 is placed in a reaction capsule and the reaction capsule placed in the reaction zone of a conventional high pressure/high temperature apparatus. The capsule is exposed to conditions of high pressure and temperature suitable to produce a diamond abrasive compact (PCD) 52. Under these conditions the PCD 52 will form and bond to the cemented carbide substrate over the entire surface which defines the recess 46. A cutting edge 54, the primary cutting edge of the tool insert, is defined by the periphery of the PCD 52.
- PCD diamond abrasive compact
- the cemented carbide / PCD body is then removed from the reaction capsule using known techniques. As such the cemented carbide / PCD body forms a precursor of a tool insert.
- the annular region 48 of the substrate 40 is ground or otherwise removed so as to leave a predetermined depth, indicated by the numeral 56, of tungsten carbide material.
- This depth of material 56 is selected so as to correspond to the amount of tungsten carbide material required to mill through the wall of a steel casing or lining of a borehole, as described above.
- the depth of tungsten carbide 56 provides a protective layer for the primary cutting edge 54 of the PCD 52, and also a secondary cutting edge 58 for milling through the steel casing. Once a window has been milled through the steel casing, ideally the layer 56 should be almost expended so as to expose the cutting edge 54 for drilling into the rockbed.
- the tungsten carbide substrate 40 whilst having the desired properties for forming the PCD layer 52, may not have the desired properties for milling through a steel casing or lining.
- the annular protective layer 48 may be replaced by tungsten carbide of a different grade or by another suitable material, such as tool steel, for example.
- the annular region 48 in such a case could be formed as a ring in situ or, alternatively, could be formed as a separate ring component which is attached to the tool insert.
- the ring 48 may be attached to the tool insert, which has been machined to accept the ring, by for example brazing, press fitting, shrink fitting or any other convenient method.
- a first embodiment of a tool insert of the invention is illustrated in figures 4 and 5 of the accompanying drawings.
- the tool insert consists of a cemented carbide substrate 80, a PCD layer 82, having a cutting edge 84, and a tungsten carbide protective segment 86, having a cutting edge 88, bonded to the substrate 80.
- the tungsten carbide segment 86 could be an extension of the substrate 80.
- the tungsten carbide segment 86 could be formed of a tungsten carbide material of a different grade that is adapted to the particular substrate to be milled.
- the depth of the tungsten carbide segment 86 is once again selected so as to protect the cutting edge 84 whilst drilling through a steel casing, but to expose the cutting edge 84 soon after encountering the subterranean bedrock.
- a tungsten carbide substrate 90 includes a number of parallel recesses 92 in which parallel PCD segments or strips 94 are formed.
- the PCD segments 94 are protected by respective tungsten carbide segments or strips 96.
- the cutting edges 98 of respective PCD segments 94 are protected by the tungsten carbide segments 96, which in turn have cutting edges 100.
- This arrangement allows the tool insert to be used for cutting through successive layers of steel and subterranean bedrock and can therefore be used multiple times.
