Patent number: 9663995Abstract: A drill bit and a method of drilling a wellbore utilizing the drill bit is disclosed. The method includes providing a drill bit including a bit body and at least one movable member associated with a lateral extent of the bit body. The method further includes conveying a drill string into a formation, the drill string having the drill bit at the end thereof and drilling the wellbore using the drill string. During drilling, the drill bit can selectively extend the at least one moveable member from the lateral extent of the bit body at a first rate and selectively retract the at least one moveable member to a retracted position at a second rate that is less than the first rate.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2014Date of Patent: May 30, 2017Assignee: BAKER HUGHES INCORPORATEDInventor: Jayesh R.

Patent number: 9657523Abstract: A method for estimating a location for disposing a tool in a drill tubular having a drill bit includes performing a modal analysis of the drill tubular to determine natural eigenfrequencies and corresponding eigenmodes of torsional oscillations of the model and selecting a predominant natural eigenfrequency and corresponding eigenmode from the determined natural eigenfrequencies and corresponding eigenmodes. The method further includes performing a forced modal analysis of the drill tubular at the predominant eigenfrequency with a force or moment acting on the drill bit to provide a correlation between forced torsional deflection amplitude and position and estimating the position to be within a range of positions wherein a vibration qualification of the tool is greater or equal to the torsional deflection amplitude throughout the range.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2013Date of Patent: May 23, 2017Assignee: BAKER HUGHES INCORPORATEDInventors: Hatem Oueslati, Hanno Reckmann, Jayesh R.

Patent number: 9476261Abstract: An apparatus for reducing vibration includes a damping assembly configured to be fixedly attached to a downhole component. The downhole component is configured to rotate within a borehole in an earth formation, and the damping assembly has a damping frequency that is tuned relative to a selected natural vibration frequency of the rotating downhole component to reduce vibration due to component rotation.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2012Date of Patent: October 25, 2016Assignee: BAKER HUGHES INCORPORATEDInventors: Suresh Venugopal, Jayesh R. Jain, Hanno Reckmann, Bernhard Meyer-Heye

Patent number: 9097065Abstract: A method of designing an earth-boring rotary drill bit includes designing a bit body and cutting elements of the drill bit such that features of the drill bit other than cutting elements engage and rub against a subterranean formation being drilled by the drill bit at depths-of-cut beyond, but close to, an intended median depth-of-cut, and such that the amount of rubbing area between such features and the formation increases at a relatively rapid rate as the depth-of-cut increases beyond the intended median depth-of-cut. Such methods may be employed to mitigate the occurrence of the “stick-slip” phenomenon during drilling. A method of fabricating a drill bit includes configuring a bit body and cutting elements in accordance with such a design. Earth-boring drill bits include a bit body and cutting elements so configured.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2012Date of Patent: August 4, 2015Assignee: BAKER HUGHES INCORPORATEDInventors: Thorsten Schwefe, Hatem Oueslati, Leroy W.
