Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of oil drilling, and in particular relates to a concave PDC drill bit. Background Art
[0002] As shallow strata's oil and gas reserves decrease with exploitation, the proportion of deep and ultra-deep wells continues to increase year by year. During the drilling process of deep and ultra-deep wells, drilling speeds are slowed when encountering high-hardness, high-abrasiveness, and heterogeneous formations in deep sections, significantly increasing the cost of oil and gas field development. The pursuit of reducing oil and gas exploration and development costs places higher demands on drill bit design. Developing new drill bits suitable for deep, hard formations is an effective way to accelerate deep oil and gas exploration and development in my country.
[0003] PDC drill bits are primarily used in soft to medium-hard formations, but have poor adaptability in hard formations, prone to tooth chipping, chipping, and severe wear. In recent years, continuous improvements and innovations have been made in the cutting teeth, blade shape, and hydraulic design of PDC bits, which have improved the drilling performance of PDC bits in hard formations to a certain extent. However, they still struggle to meet the requirements for efficient rock breaking. Due to the difference in cutting capacity between the center and edge of the drill bit, the rock breaking speed at the center of the drill bit is slow, limiting the overall rock breaking speed. Furthermore, the center cutters are easily damaged, and the inability to increase the cutter density limits the overall life of the drill bit. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In an embodiment of the present invention, the first mounting side surface and the second mounting side surface are intersecting at an end away from the top of the drill bit body, and the concave PDC drill bit further includes a core cutting tooth located at the intersection of the first mounting side surface and the second mounting side surface, and the tooth tip height of the core cutting tooth is lower than the tooth tip height of the main cutting tooth of the crown of the circumferential blade.
[0007] In an embodiment of the present invention, a mounting top surface connecting the first mounting side surface and the second mounting side surface is formed at the top end of the core blade, and the concave PDC drill bit also includes a core rock-breaking tooth extending vertically and arranged on the mounting top surface, and the tooth tip height of the core rock-breaking tooth is located on the center line of the drill bit body and is lower than the tooth tip height of the main cutting tooth of the crown of the circumferential blade.
[0008] In the embodiment of the present invention, the core rock-breaking teeth are conical teeth.
[0009] In an embodiment of the present invention, the number of the first auxiliary cutting teeth and the second auxiliary cutting teeth are both multiple, and the multiple first auxiliary cutting teeth are arranged in sequence at intervals along the extension direction of the first mounting side surface, and the multiple second auxiliary cutting teeth are arranged in sequence at intervals along the extension direction of the second mounting side surface.

[0015] Through the above technical solution, the concave PDC drill bit provided by the embodiment of the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] The higher the cutting edge of the PDC drill bit, the lower the bit will move upwards, causing it to move more slowly up and down, which may cause the drill to move more slowly, This is because the PDC drill bit mainly uses a plurality of cutting teeth to move along the core blade, and a plurality of cutting teeth to move along the core blade.

[0035] The following is a detailed description of the specific embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0036] The concave type PDC drill bit according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0037] See also Figure 1 and Figure 3 The present invention provides a concave PDC drill bit, wherein the concave PDC drill bit comprises:
[0038] The drill bit body 1 has a plurality of circumferential blades 2;
[0039] The core blade 4 is provided at the top core portion of the drill bit body 1 and is formed with a first mounting side surface 42 and a second mounting side surface 43 on opposite sides. The first mounting side surface 42 and the second mounting side surface 43 respectively extend outward from the top of the drill bit body 1 and are arranged close to each other at an angle; and
[0040] The first auxiliary cutting teeth 6 and the second auxiliary cutting teeth 7 are respectively arranged on the first mounting side surface 42 and the second mounting side surface 43 in a one-to-one correspondence, and the tooth tip heights are lower than the tooth tip heights of the main cutting teeth 3 of the crown portion 21 of the circumferential blade 2 .
[0041] When the above-mentioned concave PDC drill bit is used, since it includes a drill bit body 1, a core blade 4, a first auxiliary cutting tooth 6 and a second auxiliary cutting tooth 7, that is, in addition to the circumferential blade 2, the drill bit body 1 is also provided with a core blade 4 at the top, the first auxiliary cutting tooth 6 and the second auxiliary cutting tooth 7 are respectively provided on the first mounting side surface 42 and the second mounting side surface 43 of the core blade 4 in a one-to-one correspondence, and the tooth tip height is lower than the tooth tip height of the main cutting tooth 3 of the crown 21 of the circumferential blade 2. When the PDC drill bit breaks rock, the circumferential blade 2 is provided at the top of the drill bit body 1. The main cutting teeth 3 on the blade 2 break the outer circle of the bottom hole rock through plowing, shearing and grinding, forming a convex columnar structure in the core of the rock, releasing the confining pressure in the center of the bottom hole rock, weakening the rock strength in the center, and reducing the energy required for rock breaking in the center. Subsequently, the first auxiliary cutting teeth 6 and the second auxiliary cutting teeth 7 on the core blade 4 with the highest point of the tooth tip lower than the main cutting teeth 3 can break the convex rock in the center through the shear and splitting coupling effect, thereby achieving the effects of efficient rock breaking, reducing the lateral vibration of the drill bit, and enhancing the dynamic stability of the drill bit.
[0042] It should be noted that the crown 21 of the circumferential blade 2 extends to the top of the drill body 1, so that the top core of the drill body 1 is concave, and the core blade 4 is located in this concave space. At the same time, a plurality of main cutting teeth 3 can be provided on one circumferential blade 2, and there can be more than two main cutting teeth 3 on the crown 21 of the circumferential blade 2, and the tooth tip height of the first auxiliary cutting tooth 6 and the second auxiliary cutting tooth 7 on the core blade 4 must be at least lower than the tooth tip height of the main cutting tooth 3 at the highest position on the circumferential blade 2. The tooth tip height is the highest cutting point of the tooth, and under the cooperative cutting of the main cutting teeth 3 of the circumferential blade 2 and the first auxiliary cutting teeth 6 and the second auxiliary cutting teeth 7 of the core blade 4, the following can be formed. Figure 5 In addition, the main cutting teeth 3, the first auxiliary cutting teeth 6 and the second auxiliary cutting teeth 7 on the circumferential blade 2 can all be set as PDC cutting teeth.
[0043] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in the first embodiment of the present invention, the first mounting side surface 42 and the second mounting side surface 43 intersect at one end away from the top of the drill bit body 1. That is, the core blade 4 can be configured as a triangle, with the first mounting side surface 42 and the second mounting side surface 43 being the two waists of the triangle. The concave PDC drill bit also includes a core cutting tooth 9 located at the intersection of the first mounting side surface 42 and the second mounting side surface 43. The tooth tip of the core cutting tooth 9 is lower than the tooth tip of the main cutting tooth 3 on the crown 21 of the circumferential blade 2. In other words, the core cutting tooth 9 is disposed at the tip of the triangle, thereby concentrating the load on the core cutting tooth 9. Specifically, the core cutting tooth 9 can also be configured as a PDC cutting tooth, and the core cutting tooth 9 is arranged on the center plane of the drill bit body 1.
[0044] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in the second embodiment of the present invention, the top of the core blade 4 is formed with a mounting top surface 41 connecting a first mounting side surface 42 and a second mounting side surface 43. The concave PDC drill bit also includes a core rock breaker tooth 5 extending vertically from the mounting top surface 41. The tooth tip of the core rock breaker tooth 5 is located on the centerline of the drill bit body 1 and is lower than the tooth tip of the primary cutting tooth 3 of the crown 21 of the circumferential blade 2. The formation of the mounting top surface 41, the first mounting side surface 42, and the second mounting side surface 43 facilitates the arrangement of the core rock breaker tooth 5, the first secondary cutting tooth 6, and the second secondary cutting tooth 7. In addition, the core blade 4 is designed to taper from the bottom end (the top end of the drill bit body 1) toward the top end, thereby concentrating the load on the tip of the core rock breaker tooth 5. Furthermore, the vertically extending core rock breaker tooth 5 has a higher drilling efficiency than the transversely arranged core cutting tooth 9. Specifically, the shape of the core blade 4 can be an isosceles trapezoid, the mounting top surface 41 is the upper base of the isosceles trapezoid, and the first mounting side surface 42 and the second mounting side surface 43 are two waist sides of the isosceles trapezoid respectively.
[0045] In an embodiment of the present invention, the core rock-breaking teeth 5 may be conical teeth. Specifically, as the PDC drill bit rotates, the conical teeth are more likely to concentrate the load on the rock at a single point than a single PDC cutting tooth. This concentrated load, combined with the high cutting strength and wear resistance of the conical teeth, enables drilling through difficult and complex formations that conventional PDC drill bits cannot adapt to. This also improves the drill bit's wear resistance and significantly increases the drilling speed. More specifically, the centerline of the conical teeth is collinear with the centerline of the drill bit body 1. Of course, the present invention is not limited to this, and the conical teeth may also be axe-shaped teeth.
[0046] In the embodiment of the present invention, the number of the first auxiliary cutting teeth 6 and the second auxiliary cutting teeth 7 can be multiple, and the multiple first auxiliary cutting teeth 6 are arranged in a row and spaced apart in sequence along the extension direction of the first mounting side surface 42, and the multiple second auxiliary cutting teeth 7 are arranged in a row and spaced apart in sequence along the extension direction of the second mounting side surface 43, thereby improving the tooth density of the core of the drill bit body 1, so that the core rock can be crushed with smaller rock breaking energy, thereby improving the rock breaking efficiency and increasing the cutting strength and service life of the PDC drill bit.
[0047] In an embodiment of the present invention, the first front cutting surface 44 of the first auxiliary cutting tooth 6 on the core blade 4 and the second front cutting surface 45 of the second auxiliary cutting tooth 7 on the core blade 4 are arranged to be back-to-back with each other, that is, the first front cutting surface 44 of the first auxiliary cutting tooth 6 on the core blade 4 can become the back cutting surface of the second auxiliary cutting tooth 7 on the core blade 4, and the second front cutting surface 45 of the second auxiliary cutting tooth 7 on the core blade 4 can become the back cutting surface of the first auxiliary cutting tooth 6 on the core blade 4, thereby realizing bidirectional rock breaking and facilitating chip removal.
[0048] In this embodiment of the present invention, a first water hole 11 and a second water hole 12 are formed at the top of the drill bit body 1, spaced apart from the core blades 4. The first water hole 11 is located on one side of the first rake face 44, and the second water hole 12 is located on one side of the second rake face 45. The addition of the first water hole 11 and the second water hole 12 facilitates cleaning the core rock-breaking teeth 5, the first auxiliary cutting teeth 6, and the second auxiliary cutting teeth 7 on the core blades 4, thereby preventing mud packing.
[0049] In this embodiment of the present invention, the drill bit body 1 is provided with nozzles 13 between the crowns 21 of any two adjacent circumferential blades 2. The main cutters 3 on the circumferential blades 2 are the primary rock-breaking structure of the PDC drill bit. The main cutters 3 grind the bottom of the wellbore through shearing, destruction, and formation of the wellbore. The nozzles 13 between the crowns 21 of the two adjacent circumferential blades 2 provide better cooling, lubrication, and cleaning for the main cutters 3.
[0050] In the embodiment of the present invention, the first and second auxiliary cutting teeth 6, 7 are staggered relative to the circumferential blades 2. That is, the first and second auxiliary cutting teeth 6, 7 are positioned relative to the gap between two adjacent circumferential blades 2, thereby ensuring uniformity of the cutting load at the same time and avoiding stress concentration. Furthermore, the nozzle 13 is located within the gap, allowing the nozzle 13 to cool, lubricate, and clean the first and second auxiliary cutting teeth 6, 7.
[0051] In the embodiment of the present invention, the number of the circumferential blades 2 can be six, and the six circumferential blades 2 are evenly spaced around the circumference of the drill body 1. Of course, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the number of the circumferential blades 2 can be set according to specific needs.
[0052] In this embodiment of the present invention, the concave PDC drill bit further includes a connector 8 connected to the drill bit body 1. The connector 8 is formed with external threads to facilitate removable installation with a drill tool. Furthermore, the connector 8 and the drill bit body 1 can be connected by a weld or integrally formed. The drill bit body 1 is also provided with a shackle groove 14.
