... that needed to grade dulls. Eight types of information about a worm bit can be recorded similar to the existing IADC grading system. The first four spaces explain the cutting structure. Unlike the first two spaces for "Inner" and "Outer" rows of the cutters of the existing IADC grading system, a single space...

... and vibration, low rates of penetration (ROP), and premature drill-bit cutting structure damage. Today, industry efforts to improve the performance in the Brazilian presalt carbonates are driven by trial and error, which is very costly in the ultradeepwater drilling environment. The adoption of a collaborative...

... and high hydrocarbon exposure that raised bearing reliability issues. Reviews with rig personnel, completions engineers, and plug manufacturers were conducted. A series of various bit designs were then run to identify how to best match the cutting structure of the bit with the plug to be drilled...

... The hybrid bit (KH) possesses multiple cutting mechanisms combined in a single cutting structure ( Figure 4 ) including: Abstract An innovative hybrid bit design has been successfully applied offshore Brazil to mitigate geological/formation uncertainties in pre-salt formations and eliminate...

.... These designs may be mechanical or hydraulic in their operation, with forces applied to expanding cutting structures used to enlarge the borehole. Definitions for Dull Grading System Dull grading practices of concentric expandable, concentric fixed-blade, eccentric, and bi-center tools are not unlike...

.... A drill shoe with a displaceable PDC cutting structure was used to drill the 8 1/2-in. hole section and subsequently displaced prior to cementing so as to allow drill out with a conventional drill bit and BHA. This paper will discuss the implementation of liner drilling technology in the Banuwati...

... but the tool has to pass through a smaller diameter restriction than the required final hole size. The concentric tools are more diverse and consist of fixed designs such as concentric drill bits and string tools (that could use either PDC or roller cone cutting structures), to more complex tools that open...

... at the same time compromising the cutting structure presented to the formation. Additional limitations include limited reaming and back reaming capabilities, as well as non-uniform directional response. This can lead to well construction problems and reduced drilling performance. One embodiment...
