COMBINED CRUSHING SUPER-VARIABLE-DIAMETER DRILL BIT FOR NATURAL GAS HYDRATE EXPLOITATION
The present invention relates to a combined crushing super-variable-diameter drill bit for natural gas hydrate exploitation, including a joint, an outer cylinder connected to the joint by thread, a nozzle I mounted in the outer cylinder, a mechanical locking mechanism, a blade telescoping mechanism, an end cap connected to the outer cylinder by thread, a seal ring IV mounted to the end cap, and a nozzle II mounted in the end cap by threaded connection. The present invention achieves integrated operation of conventional drilling and draw-back expanding, which can effectively solve the problems that the existing hydrate drill bit cannot drill a large borehole, cannot mechanically lock an extending position of the blade to stabilize the size of the borehole, and a single crushing method is inefficient.
HYBRID BIT WITH ROLLER CONES HAVING INSERTS
A hybrid bit with roller cones having inserts is disclosed, includes a bit body, blades and roller cones. All the fixed cutting elements at the inner cone section, nose section and shoulder section of blades herein constitutes two sets of corresponding fixed cutting elements respectively, forming two profile envelopes of fixed cutting elements at least in the interval at the nose section and shoulder section, the two profile envelopes of fixed cutting elements are spaced at high and low intervals at the nose section and shoulder section, forming two stages of cutting by fixed cutting elements; and the cutting position of the cone insert mainly corresponds to the nose section and shoulder section of blades, the outermost cutting profile envelope of cone inserts formed by all or part of cutting elements on cones herein is higher than the outermost cutting profile envelope of fixed cutting elements, forming the third stage of cutting. The invention can effectively develop rate of penetration in hard and plastic formation, maintain and prolong the service life of the hybrid bit, and broaden the formation suitability of the hybrid bit.
Adjustable downhole nozzle
A drill bit nozzle assembly and drill bit including the same may include a conical or frustum contoured nozzle body.
