Patent number: 11434698Abstract: A drill bit including a body having a face and a bit axis. The face includes a cone region disposed about the bit axis, a nose region disposed radially outward from the cone region, and a shoulder region disposed radially outward from the nose region. The drill bit further includes a first plurality of cutters defining a first cutting profile, and a second plurality of cutters defining a second cutting profile different from the first cutting profile. The second plurality of cutters are not back-up cutters to the first plurality of cutters.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2020Date of Patent: September 6, 2022Assignee: Ulterra Drilling Technologies, L.P.Inventors: Carl Aron Deen, Christopher M. Casad

Patent number: 11098541Abstract: A PDC drill bit for use in downhole air drilling includes a body with a face for engaging a bottom of a hole being drilled and a gauge for engaging a side of the hole being drilled. The face includes a cone, a nose outward of the cone, a shoulder outward of the nose. The bit further includes channels formed in the face of the bit that extend from within the cone to the gauge. The channels define a plurality of blades separated by the channels. Each of the plurality of blades has a leading edge with PDC cutters mounted thereon. One or more of the channels are defined by two side walls and a bottom wall and has a length, width and depth. The width or depth remains substantially constant from a first point on its length within the cone to a second point within the shoulder.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2018Date of Patent: August 24, 2021Assignee: Ulterra Drilling Technologies, L.P.Inventors: Christopher M. Casad, Ben Chrest, Thomas A. Damian, Carl Aron Deen, Kristy Everheart, Kerry Sisson

Patent number: 11015394Abstract: A drag bit includes a blade extending from the bit body and supporting inner cutters proximate the longitudinal axis and outer cutters spaced from the longitudinal axis. The inner cutters are rotationally offset from the outer cutters. During operation the inner cutters deposit cut material in a channel that is contiguous with a channel that receives material cut by the outer cutters. The cutters and the contiguous channels flush agglomerating material from the slots.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2018Date of Patent: May 25, 2021Assignee: Ulterra Drilling Technologies, LPInventors: Christopher M. Casad, Carl Aron Deen

Patent number: 10662714Abstract: A rotary drill bit for directional drilling operations, in which a rotating bit with cutters advances a borehole in the earth invention, provides a smaller radius of curvature to increase drilling efficiency. The rotary drill bit comprises a box connection for connecting the bit to the drill string. The drill bit receives a pin connection that seats adjacent the plenum of the bit to shorten the distance between the bit face and steering tools behind the bit so the drill string can be steered more efficiently.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2017Date of Patent: May 26, 2020Assignee: Ulterra Drilling Technologies, L.P.Inventors: Jason Robert Cunningham, Rachel Sarah Goodship, Blake Austin Byrnes, Carl Aron Deen

Patent number: 10570665Abstract: A rotating bit with cutters used in drilling operations to advance a borehole in the earth. The bit includes column cutters in the bit body in a recessed central area. The column cutters contact a column of borehole material that is formed during operation. The column cutters are oriented to fracture the column, producing larger cuttings or chips, and to exert a force on the column to limit lateral movement of the bit during operation.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2015Date of Patent: February 25, 2020Assignee: Ulterra Drilling Technologies L.P.Inventors: Jason Maw, Benjamin Chrest, Ryan Matthews, Thomas Alan Damian, Carl Aron Deen, Andrew David Murdock

Patent number: 10316895Abstract: A universal joint assembled to a drill string transfers torque and axial force between two components where the shafts of the components are not completely aligned. The universal joint includes end members connected to opposite ends of a cable for connecting to components of the drill string. As the joint rotates the cable flexes to accommodate misalignment between the connected drill string components.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2016Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Assignee: Ulterra Drilling Technologies, L.P.Inventors: Justin S. McMillan, Christopher M. Casad, Beau J. St. Pierre, Carl Aron Deen
