Abstract

Traditional reamer blade with double-row cutters and middle channel structure frequently encounters the cuttings deposition and balling when reaming the soft and sticky formation which is easy to hydration and collapsing. Balling causes were analyzed from the view of the cuttings’ properties and the hydraulic characteristics of the traditional reamer blade. Based on the analysis results, a new anti-balling reamer blade technology was presented to address this problem. Evaluations on the cutting force and working life of the new blade were conducted by comparison with the pilot polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) bit. The theoretic working life of the new blade was about twice longer than that of pilot PDC bit. The hydrodynamic analysis results indicated that the disappearing of low-pressure region and turbulence combined with the lower differential pressure of the annulus fluid can significantly prevent the new reamer blade from cuttings deposition and balling.
