Abstract: A drill bit having increased resistance to erosion and hence increased resistance to failure has erosion resistant material in the area surrounding cutter pockets. The drill bit includes a steel bit body having blades (304, figure3), cutter pockets 308 with cutters 310 disposed on the blades and recesses 312 formed in the surface of the cutter pockets. Erosion resistant 316 material is disposed within the recesses.

Abstract: Thermally stable diamond constructions comprise a diamond body having a plurality of bonded diamond crystals and a plurality of interstitial regions disposed among the crystals. A metallic substrate is attached to the diamond body. A working surface is positioned along an outside portion of the diamond body, and the diamond body comprises a first region that is substantially free of a catalyst material, and a second region that includes the catalyst material. The diamond body first region extends from the working surface to depth of at least about 0.02 mm to a depth of less than about 0.09 mm. The diamond body includes diamond crystals having an average diamond grain size of greater than about 0.02 mm, and comprises at least 85 percent by volume diamond based on the total volume of the diamond body.

IPC: E21B10/46
Abstract: The invention provides a fixed cutter drill bit for drilling through unconsolidated, highly abrasive formations. The bit includes a bit body having a cutting face and a side portion. The bit body comprising carbide matrix material. A plurality of blades azimuthally spaced about the cutting face and a plurality of cutters disposed along the blades. At least one gage pad is disposed along a side of the bit body and includes wear resistant gage elements formed of a material more wear resistant than the matrix material forming a portion of the gage pad. The wear resistant elements have a rounded surface and are embedded in gage pad material proximal a leading edge of the gage pad to provide a rounded wear-resistant edge or surface proximal the leading edge.

Abstract: A composite mini-extended nozzle is disclosed that is designed to both resist erosion and be strong enough to withstand the shock of a downhole dri lling environment. In addition, means are provided to shroud at least a portion of theextended nozzle to further protect a portion of the nozzle nearest the exit plane from downhole obstructions. A combination of materials used to form the nozz le may include a matrix of tungsten carbides with suitable binder joined to an outer metal jacket nozzle body. A third ceramic matrix material may be utilized to line or partially line an interior passage formed by the mini-extended nozzle and a reduced in diameter portion of the nozzle design may include a built-in frac tureplane in the unlikely event the end of the nozzle hi ts an obstruction. The extended portion of the nozzle will shear off along this fracture plane thereby preve nting a nozzle washout that likely would result in a trip out of the hole to repair the resultant damage to the rock bit.

Abstract: Diamond particles coated with a boride, nitride or carbide of a group IVA, VA or VI transition metal or silicon disposed in a matrix comprising tungsten carbide, tungsten alloy, tungsten carbide in combination with tungsten, a tungsten alloy in combination with tungsten, titanium based compounds or nitrides are used to make a drill bit insert or a drill bit. Preferably both the drill bit and inserts are made from this material.
