Abstract

A fishtail type drag bit is disclosed consisting of multiple blades, each blade forming radially disposed grooves. Each groove contains equidistantly spaced diamond cutters along its length. The cutters are additionally oriented at a negative rake angle with respect to a borehole bottom. The vertical alignment of the diamond cutters paralleling an axis of the bit are staggered to destroy kerfs which remain in the formation from preceding eroded rows of diamond cutters as the bit works in the borehole.
