Abstract
A cutting bit includes a bit body and high-pressure body with a high-pressure fluid conduit therethrough. The high-pressure body and bit body are joined together. The high-pressure fluid conduit is configured to convey a fluid at greater than 14.5 ksi, and in some embodiments greater than 40 ksi. The high-pressure fluid conduit may direct the fluid through a nozzle in a fluid jet to weaken material, such as an earth formation. The cutting bit includes at least one roller cone and/or blades with cutting elements thereon to remove the weakened material. A cutting bit includes both high and low-pressure fluid conduits, and high and low-pressure fluid nozzles. The high-pressure nozzles receive fluid flow from a downhole pressure intensifier, and a connection between the bit and the downhole pressure intensifier includes rigid connectors, flexible connectors, or a combination thereof.
