On a reamer, standard PDC cutters are commonly used in many conventional drilling applications. When running reamers with these cutters, different material composition can lead to better performance. Additionally, 3D-geometry cutting elements can now be used in reamer cutter blocks to further increase ROP and improve footage. The proven success of 3D-geometry cutting elements offers an intelligent solution to challenging reaming applications.
