ABSTRACT:
A fixed cutter drill bit includes sets of cutter elements mounted on the bit face. Each set includes at least two cutters mounted on different blades at generally the same radial position with reset to the bit axis but having differing degrees of backrake. The cutter elements of a set may be mounted having their cutting faces out-of-profile, such that certain elements in the set are exposed to the formation material to a greater extent than other cutter elements in the same set. The cutter elements in a set may have cutting faces and profiles that are identical, or they may vary in size or shape or both. The bit exhibits increased stability and provides substantial improvement in ROP without requiting excessive WOB.
