This paper describes the design and operational evolutional of bicenter fixed cutter bits used to drill and to underream below existing casing for a well-deepening program in south Texas. These bits were required to pass through the casing ID and to drill a hole diameter large enough to allow adequate annular clearance for cementing a liner. The traditional method for deepening these wells required several roller-cone bits and hole openers. Use of bicenter bits decreased the cost of the well deepening by eliminating bit and undereamer trips and increasing rate of penetration (ROP).
