ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a drill bit for use downhole in oil and gas wells. It is particularly adoptable for use in removing obstructions such as well packers which may become jammed within the casings of oil and gas wells. Cutters are arranged on the cutting face of the drill bit in arc-like patterns of decreasing radius. The shear angle of each cutter combined with the arc-like pattern in which the cutters are arranged serve to direct the cuttings and drilling debris inward toward the central bore. Fluid can be pumped down through the well casing and circulated about the drill bit through longitudinal channels provided in the main body of the drill bit. In such manner, the fluid circulates downward within the casing and across the cutting face of the drill bit carrying the cuttings and drilling debris up through the central bore thus preventing the cuttings in drilling debris from building up within the casing or causing the drill bit to jam within the casing.
