Abstract: Bits for use in drilling with a well completion string or the like are provided. The bits comprise a bit body and a cutting face that includes a plurality of sets of cutter elements mounted on the cutting face. The bit body has a central longitudinal bore having an integrated female non-shouldered, standard oilfield completion string thread. This thread arrangement allows the bit to be secured directly to any standard completion string, well casing. The bits are designed with minimal cutter coverage, and this combined with the integrated completion string thread allows economical completion of a well with the high ROP expected from a PDC type bit. In an additional embodiment, a bit comprises a bit body and a cutting face having integrated cutting structures. The bit body has a central longitudinal bore having an integrated female non-shouldered, standard oilfield completion string thread. A unique bit manufacturing technique is also provided.
