Abstract

Methods of drilling subterranean formations include coupling at least one bearing block having an initial thickness to a drill bit, engaging a formation with the drill bit within an initial depth of cut range, and reducing the initial thickness of the bearing block by contacting the formation to cause the initial depth of cut range to be at least partially increased. Methods of forming drill bits for drilling subterranean formations include forming at least one rubbing surface of at least one bearing block from at least one material exhibiting a reduced coefficient of friction and coupling the at least one bearing block to the drill bit. Drill bit assemblies include at least one bearing block having a distal portion configured to provide an initial depth of cut range and a base portion configured to provide an increased depth of cut range greater than the initial depth of cut range.

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS received by the International Bureau on 03 Mars 2011 (03.03.2011 )
1. A method of forming a drill bit for drilling a subterranean formation, the method comprising:
forming at least one bearing block at least partially from a material selected for wear;
disposing the at least one bearing block in at least one receptacle formed in a portion of the drill bit; and
coupling the at least one bearing block to the drill bit.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein forming the at least one bearing block at least partially from a material selected for wear comprises forming the at least one bearing block at least partially from at least one of a relatively soft carbide material, a steel material, an alloy material, and a particle-matrix composite material.
3. The method of claim 1, further comprising forming the at least one bearing block from a first material selected for wear and a second material selected to exhibit a wear resistance greater than the first material.
4. The method of claim 3, wherein forming the at least one bearing block from a first material selected for wear and a second material selected to exhibit a wear resistance greater than the first material comprises forming a rubbing surface of the at least one bearing block with the first material and forming a base portion of the at least one bearing block with the second material.
5. The method of claim 3, wherein forming the at least one bearing block from a first material selected for wear and a second material selected to exhibit a wear resistance greater than the first material comprises forming a rubbing surface of the at least one bearing block ,with the second material and forming a base portion of the at least one bearing block with the first material. 26
6. The method of claim 3, wherein forming the at least one bearing block from a first material selected for wear and a second material selected to exhibit a wear resistance greater than the first material comprises:
selecting the first material from at least one of a relatively soft carbide material, a steel material, a metal alloy material, and a particle-matrix composite material; and selecting the second material from at least one of a diamond material, a thermally stable polycrystalline material, a ceramic material, and a tungsten carbide material.
7. A method of drilling a subterranean formation, the method comprising:
engaging a formation with at least one cutter of a drill bit formed by the method recited in any one of claims 1 through 6 within an initial depth of cut range;
drilling the formation with the drill bit; and
reducing an initial thickness of the at least one bearing block by contacting the formation with at least one rubbing surface of the at least one bearing block to cause the initial depth of cut range to be at least partially increased.
8. The method according to claim 7, wherein drilling the formation with the drill bit comprises drilling a first formation using the drill bit with a first average depth of cut and further comprising drilling a second, subsequent formation using the drill bit with a second, substantially greater average depth of cut.
9. A drill bit assembly for subterranean drilling, comprising:
a drill bit comprising a plurality of blades, a plurality of cutting elements disposed on the plurality of blades, and at least one receptacle located in at least one blade of the plurality of blades; and
at least one bearing block disposed in the at least one receptacle, the at least one bearing block comprising:
a distal portion configured to provide at least one cutting element of the plurality of cutting elements with an initial depth of cut range; and
a base portion configured to provide the at least one cutting element of the plurality of cutting elements with an increased depth of cut range greater than the initial depth of cut range, wherein the distal portion of the at least one bearing block extends laterally outward from the base portion of the at least one bearing block. 27
10. The drill bit assembly for subterranean drilling of claim 9, wherein the at least one bearing block further comprises at least one of a tapered shape and a concave shape.
11. The drill bit assembly for subterranean drilling of claim 9 or claim 10, wherein the distal portion of the at least one bearing block comprises a first material selected for wear and the base portion of the at least one bearing block comprises a second material exhibiting a wear resistance greater than the first material.
12. The drill bit assembly for subterranean drilling of claim 1 1, wherein the distal portion of the at least one bearing block comprises at least one of a soft carbide material, a steel material, an alloy material, and a particle-matrix composite material and the base portion of the at least one bearing block comprises at least one of a diamond material, a thermally stable polycrystalline material, a ceramic material, and a tungsten carbide material.
13. The drill bit assembly for subterranean drilling of claim 9 or claim 10, wherein the distal portion of the at least one bearing block comprises a first material comprising a wear resistant material and the base portion of the at least one bearing block comprises a second material exhibiting a wear resistance less than the first material.
14. The drill bit assembly for subterranean drilling of claim 11, wherein at least one of the distal portion of the at least one bearing block and the base portion of the at least one bearing block comprise a material exhibiting a coefficient of friction between 0.01 and 0.20.
