Drill bit for horizontal directional drilling

摘要

A bit body for a drill bit for horizontal directional drilling includes a pair of legs and a small wedge member disposed between the pair of legs. A roller cone is rotatably mounted to each bearing shaft extending from a respective leg. The roller cones support full coverage cutting structures. A center jet nozzle is configured to direct drilling fluid between the pair of roller cones. A stabilizer member maintains an upright drilling position of the drill bit within the borehole.
