Bi-center bit and drilling tools with enhanced hydraulics

A drilling tool includes a pilot bit coupled to an eccentric reamer that has a reaming side and a stabilizing side. A fluid passageway extends between the reamer and the pilot bit, and the tool includes at least one upwardly-directed nozzle in fluid communication with the fluid passageway and positioned on the stabilizing side of the reamer. The reamer may include a plurality of angularly spaced blades on the reaming side that radially extend a first distance, the reamer blades being disposed within a first arcuate segment defined by the two most distant reamer blades. One or more stabilizing blades extend a second distance that is less than the first distance, the stabilization blades being disposed within a second arcuate segment defined by the two most distant reamer blades and that has the angular measure equal to 360 degrees minus the first arcuate segment.

Roller reamer with mechanical face seal
10947786 · 2021-03-16 ·

At least one mechanical face seal is disposed within a cutter cartridge of a roller reamer. The cutter cartridge includes a roller cutter and a retention assembly. A bearing shaft of the retention assembly extends through an inner channel of the roller cutter. A first mechanical face seal is disposed or shared between the roller cutter and a first pillow block of the retention assembly. An optional second mechanical face seal is disposed or shared between the roller cutter and a second pillow block of the retention assembly. Each pillow block is rotatably coupled at an opposing end of the bearing shaft. The retention assembly includes two separately matched sets of one pillow block and a wedge. The wedges in combination detachably secure the pillow blocks to a tool body of the roller reamer.
