Abstract
A reaming tool includes a reaming tool body configured to be coupled within a drill string or a string of drilling tools. A plurality of reaming blocks is attached to the reaming tool body at circumferentially spaced apart locations. At least one reaming block comprises at least a first row of gouging cutters and a second row of gouging cutters. The gouging cutters in the first row define a first profile. The gouging cutters in the second row define a second profile. The first row is rotationally ahead of the second row. The first profile at any longitudinal position along the at least one reaming block defines a larger reaming diameter than the second profile.
