Abstract
A drill bit mounted on or integral to a mandrel on the distal end of a downhole motor directional assembly is provided. The drill bit is in a fixed circumferential relationship with the activating mechanism of one or more dynamic lateral pads (DLP). The technologies of the present application assist in and optionally control the extent of lateral movement of the drill bit. The technologies include, among other things, the placement and angulation of the cutting structures in the cone areas of the blades on the drill bit.
