  • Patent number: 11828109
    Abstract: Cutting elements for earth-boring tools may include a cutting edge located proximate to a periphery of the cutting element. The cutting edge may be positioned and configured to contact an earth formation during an earth-boring operation. The cutting edge may include a first portion having a first radius of curvature and a second portion having a second, larger radius of curvature. The second portion may be circumferentially offset from the first portion.

  • Publication number: 20230219185
    Abstract: Methods of forming a cutting element include leaching a diamond table of the cutting element and subsequent to leaching the diamond table of the cutting element, forming a chamfer on the diamond table of the cutting element at an interface between a cutting surface of the diamond table and an outer side surface of the diamond table. Methods of forming earth-boring tools include forming a cutting element and securing the cutting element to a body of the earth-boring tool. Forming the cutting element includes including leaching a diamond table of the cutting element and subsequent to leaching the diamond table of the cutting element, forming a chamfer on the diamond table of the cutting element at an interface between a cutting surface of the diamond table and an outer side surface of the diamond table.

  • Publication number: 20230222266
    Abstract: Methods and systems for receiving an earth-boring tool design, identifying a force model equation to utilize in simulating performance of the earth-boring tool design within a planned drilling operation, simulating performance of the earth-boring tool design within the planned drilling operation utilizing the identified force model equation, and based at least partially on the simulated performance of the earth-boring tool, estimating a probability of an actual earth-boring tool experiencing stick-slip within the planned drilling operation.

  • Publication number: 20230126964
    Abstract: A method of making a cutting element for use on an earth-boring tool may include forming the cutting element including a cutting table formed from a superabrasive polycrystalline material. The method may further include polishing a cutting surface of the cutting table by pulsing a laser onto the cutting surface of the cutting table. The cutting element may include a superabrasive polycrystalline cutting table including a cutting surface substantially free of micro-anomalies in the superabrasive material.
