dvanced Services Engineering (ASE) is an independent applications organization within Smith that provides expert drill bit selection engineering to Smith Bits customers. This service is founded on the recognition that time demands on drilling
supervision frequently preclude a sufficiently thorough selection process for bits. This situation can result in less than optimum bit
A
performance. Smith's ASE program provides a highly experienced bit application specialist to a customer's drilling team to generate objective bit selection recommendations and advise both the operator and Smith on day to day requirements for maintaining superior bit performance.
Correct selection and utilization of drill bits have significant impact on drilling costs. A bit's performance and its interrelationship with the rig capability, bottom hole assembly, mud, and the formation to be drilled, can contribute, either favorably or unfavorably, to costs. ASEs consider the entire drilling environment including, formation, drilling fluids, rig capabilities, crew, and any special drilling objectives in their process of finding an optimum bit then maintaining its efficiency throughout its life.
ASEs are a complementary part of a drilling team. ASE goals are always congruent with customer drilling objectives. Recommendations are based on the best product for an application, independent of manufacturer. In addition, ASE engineers provide a feedback loop to Smith Bits design engineers which leads to continual product improvement. To establish measurable goals, ASEs prepare and gain the drilling team's agreement to a comprehensive well plan that evaluates performance during drilling. On completion, a post-well analysis measures the success of the plan and provides a permanent, formal reference for future development wells.
Smith’s Advanced Services Engineering has systematically produced favorable economic results for the projects and producing assets where it has been employed. ASEs are currently on site throughout the world in a spectrum of drilling operations including multiple rig developments, exploration wells, shallow and deep offshore wells, and directional and extended reach applications.

BOS , Smith's Drill Bit Optimization System, determines the appropriate combination of cutting structure, gauge protection, hydraulic configuration, and other features for a drill bit for optimizing drilling performance. This software-driven process has the primary goal of providing bits that drill with the lowest possible cost per foot. The DBOS service incorporates a thorough analysis
D
of offset well data including well logs, formation tops, mud logs, core analysis, rock mechanics, drilling parameters, bit records and dull bit conditions to optimize both rock bit and PDC bit selections to achieve minimum cost per foot for the operator with a minimum of "trial and error." The tools utilize a commercially available geologic mapping and well log correlation and analysis software together with a series of Smith Bits algorithms for rock compressive strengths, bit performance analysis, and bit selection.
DBOS optimizes both roller cone and
fixed-cutter bit performance; it can provide analysis based on a single offset well, a multi-well cross section, or full field mapping and regional trend analyses that produce development strategies.
The process begins with evaluation of expected formation types and their section lengths obtained from offset well logs. The DBOS application then determines unconfined rock compressive strength, effective porosity, abrasion and impact potential. These rock properties contribute to the identification of one or more potentially optimal bit types and suggest various applicable bit features. DBOS predicts the cost per foot that each bit and configuration will achieve. Bit selection recommendations are determined by bit type with minimum cost per foot.
For PDC bit designs, cutter type and diameter, density, bit profile, hydraulic configuration, and gauge protection requirements are all optimized.
Post-run analyses evaluate bit performance from available data such as real time penetration rates, weight on bit, RPM, torque, bit dull conditions, and more. This provides design and applications engineering feedback and launches a continuous improvement cycle. DBOS has been in service for more than 10 years, and Smith’s database contains records pertaining to more than 3,500 projects in 54 countries, encompassing over 5,000 wells. Operators, worldwide, have attributed substantial savings in drilling time and cost to the use of Smith Bits DBOS.

it records play a major role in drill bit development by identifying opportunities to improve bit performance and reduce drilling costs. The Smith Bits Drilling Records System (DRS ) was initiated in May 1985. Since that time more than half a million records from oil, gas and geothermal wells around the world have been added. These records describe more than 2,500,000
B
individual bit runs from virtually all oil fields in the world.
The inclusion of bit record data from your wells in Smith’s DRS contributes to better drill bit selection and application for your drilling program. The Smith Bits DRS can be accessed through your Smith Bits Application Engineer or Sales Representative.

provides conventional jet nozzle optimization and selection. It uses a graphical user interface, graphical outputs, and includes simulation capabilities that are unique in the industry. After initialization data is input, the program makes graphical simulations of mud properties, flow rates, rate of penetration, and total flow area, then demonstrates respective effects on observed bit hydraulic factors and on hole cleaning. Yield Point can assess potential hole cleaning problems in the planning stage, rather than have an operator experience expensive problems during actual drilling operations.The latest version of the Yield Point software is Yield Point RT (Real Time). Using the WITSML (well site information transfer standard markup language) capabilities, the customer's data from the well site can be linked directly to Yield Point RT. The data can then be analyzed in near real time to make recommendations for the operator that can be implemented immediately. As a result, hydraulics can be optimized to maximize efficiency as the well is being drilled. Yield Point RT is another example of the commitment of Smith Bits to providing customers with solutions that reduce costs.

ECLIPSING ALL OTHER DRILLSTRING DYNAMICS PROGRAMS

™i-DRILL 4D modeling predicts a drilling system's performance and behavior using extreme computing power, finite element analysis and lab derived rock mechanics. Finally there is a unique approach that allows a complete drilling system analysis instead of the common practice used in the past of assuming bit effect factors. i-DRILL provides clients with the opportunity to eliminate the costly exercise of learning through trial and error.
By utilizing a time-based model with six degrees of freedom, the 4D modeling accurately predicts the vibrations and accelerations often seen to have detrimental effects on directional control, tool reliability, drill string integrity, and drilling performance. The ability to pinpoint the source and effects of torsional,
axial, and lateral oscillations enables drilling engineers and directional drillers to quantify design changes to the drillstring configuration and optimize parameters. Excessive bending stresses and buckling are commonly seen as major contributors to downtime. i-DRILL provides an in-depth understanding of a drilling system's integrity, achieved by evaluating bending moments in two directions. Directional tendencies are predicted by examining the forces generated by bit-rock interaction with the dynamic effect of the entire drillstring. i-DRILL gives the operator the chance to focus on any discrete component of the drillstring to evaluate and understand that specific component's contribution to overall performance. Virtual meets real world through the coupling of rock mechanics lab data with highly advanced propriety software. Heterogeneous formations and transitional drilling can be modeled and combined with benchmark outputs such as torque & drag and critical speeds. i-DRILL’s extensive tool portfolio includes the differentiation between push-and point-the-bit rotary steerable systems, concentric and eccentric
reamers, positive displacement motors, hole openers, and roller reamers, just to mention a few.
i-DRILL delivers to the energy industry the tremendous potential to change the way wells are drilled in the future, and is yet another example of Smith Bits being at the forefront of technology development.
To evaluate a drillstring’s integrity, i-DRILL calculates bending moments throughout the entire drillstring. This simulation includes a PDC bit, mud
motor with 1.2° bend housing, and two stabilizers in a deviated well. Contact forces and bit directional and inclination forces are evaluated to
predict directional tendencies, as well as drillstring integrity.
The drilling system’s ROP and vibration performance can be optimized through sensitivity analysis to key

The Gemini Dynamic Twin Seal System is the industry leader in durability and reliability. The system consists of a primary seal that protects the bearings and a secondary seal that protects the primary seal. The
proprietary dual material primary seal combines a highly wear resistant dynamic face elastomer and a softer energizing material that exerts a consistent, but not excessive, contact pressure. This “bullet” shaped primary seal has a large cross sectional profile to provide maximum protection for the bearing.
The secondary seal is also made from a mix of patented fabrics and is designed to guard against abrasive particles in the well bore fluids coming into contact with the
®
bearing seal. A proprietary thermoplastic fabric reinforced with Kevlar is positioned on the seal's dynamic face, embedded in an elastomer matrix. The fabric provides resistance to wearing, tearing, and heat damage, as well as a barrier to abrasive elements in well bore fluids. The elastomer matrix provides elasticity and proven
sealing ability. Although they work independently, the seals created a synergy that allows them to perform reliably for extended periods of time at higher RPMs, heavier drillstring weights, extreme dogleg severity, and increased mud weight and pressures.
The Gemini Dynamic Twin Seal System is available in a wide range of sizes and types of roller cone bits.

Design
mith Bits offers many insert geometries and material options to make possible the optimization of bit characteristics for specific ®
target applications. Among these are conical, chisel, round top, the Dog Bone , and ACE insert options. The development of
S
insert geometries along with diamond and tungsten carbide materials optimization is a key focus of Smith research which means new, performance enhancing features are constantly being proven and readied for use. Our research and development is relentlessly targeted to create innovations that lower drilling costs.Insert Options
mith Bits engineers can optimize insert materials to suit individual applications. Insert material grades are not tied to a particular design platform, rather they are matched to application requirements to maximize
S
performance flexibility, reliability and durability. Extensive research resources are dedicated to continually developing carbides that are tailored to specific
applications. The work done with coarse carbides is an example of this effort. These inserts offer a new level of performance in meeting the drilling challenges of the world’s most demanding applications.
Geometry Choices
mith was the first bit company to offer diamond enhanced inserts in roller cone bits and remains the performance leader in this technology. Today, diamond inserts can be used in various
S
areas of the bit, based on the needs of a particular application. Diamond inserts can be used on only the gauge rows, as every insert on all three cones, and/or on the bit leg as the situation requires. The use of diamond inserts helps ensure maximum durability in the most challenging applications.
Diamond Choices
Material Choices
mith pioneered the use of specific insert shapes in 1995. Since then we have used a number of proprietary tools to determine optimum insert geometry for given bit designs. The Dog Bone insert, initially used in the Shamal product line is a case in point.
S
Here a combination of toughness and aggression has been designed to drill strong, non abrasive carbonates and also achieve higher ROPs in interbedded clays and sands.
The latest evolution in shaped inserts is the ACE (Asymmetric Conic Edge) insert. This unique geometry is a hybrid of the conical and chisel insert. It has an offset conical top for increased strength, and a flatter leading side to enhance scraping. This proprietary asymmetric design is highly resistant to breakage and impact damage, yet more aggressive and effective in softer formations than a standard conical insert.

Conventional directional bits (shown by the purple line) exhibit a fixed lower torque response to WOB changes regardless of weight range or operational mode. Without compromise to the torque vs. WOB relationship needed to enhance steering ability and tool face control, Dual Torque bits, (shown by the red line), establish strong torque vs. WOB relationships while in the rotary drilling mode at higher WOB levels.

High Speed Capabilities
inetic bits are extremely effective when run on Turbodrills and high-speed positive displacement motors (PDM). The higher rotational velocities possible with these tools are perfectly suited to exploit the performance potential of Kinetic bits. Bit features
K
can be optimized based on the drive type.GHI Innovation
inetic featues Smith’s latest generation of Grit Hot Pressed Inserts (GHI). GHI inserts consist of a proprietary combination of diamond
K
crystals and tungsten carbide matrix powder. These ingredients are tailored to specific material properties for the drilling application. Kinetic GHI’s use an innovative, new proprietary granulation process that ensures a superior uniformity in diamond distribution. This makes the Smith GHI more durable than ever before and allows it to drill faster for a longer period of time.0 3
Geometry
inetic bit geometries include a number of innovative new cutting structures. Most designs feature increased blade heights that make
K
placement of larger volumes of diamond materials possible. This results in increased nose and shoulder durability while retaining solid gauge protection in abrasive applications.

he versatility of QUAD-D products is best demonstrated by the range of applications that they drill. The GeoReam is well suited to be run directly above the pilot bit for directional applications. It is the recommended alternative to the QUAD-D bit in applications in
T
which a PDC cutting structure is not the best option for the pilot bit. Although compact in length, the stability-enhancing technology used in the GeoReam ensures optimal hole quality while drilling. With longer pilot conditioning sections and drill string connections, QUAD-D Reamers are designed to maximize performance in rotary applications. The longer pilot conditioning section acts like a string stabilizer to ensure centralization and stabilization. This tool is intended to be run with various BHA configurations, including rotary steerable systems.12-1/4” x 14-1/2”
