MULTIPLE INTERMEDIATE STEP SIMULATION OF DRILL BIT ABRASIVE WEAR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17826509 titled 'MULTIPLE INTERMEDIATE STEP SIMULATION OF DRILL BIT ABRASIVE WEAR

Simplified Explanation

- The patent application describes a method for determining the wear and profile of a drill bit used for drilling a wellbore. - The method involves determining the initial bit profile of the drill bit before it is used for drilling. - After drilling a portion of the wellbore, the wear depth of at least one element of the drill bit is determined. - Based on the wear depth, the final bit profile of the drill bit is determined. - The method also includes determining intermediate bit profiles and wear parameters for each step between the initial and final bit profiles. - The innovation allows for accurate monitoring and adjustment of the drill bit's wear and profile during the drilling process.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method comprises determining an initial bit profile of a drill bit prior to the drill bit being used for drilling a wellbore. The method comprises determining a wear depth for at least one element of the drill bit after the drill bit has drilled at least a portion of the wellbore and determining a final bit profile of the drill bit based on the wear depth for the at least one element of the drill bit. The method comprises performing the following for each of one or more intermediate steps between the initial bit profile and the final bit profile, determining an intermediate bit profile of the drill bit and determining at least one wear parameter for the at least one element based on the intermediate bit profile of the drill bit.
