Drilling boreholes with a hybrid bit

A method for drilling a wellbore with a wellbore drilling bit assembly comprising:

• structurally supporting, by a base of the wellbore drilling bit assembly, the wellbore drilling bit assembly to a drill string along a longitudinal axis of the base, the base defining a circumference;
• shearing a core of the Earth, by a plurality of blades, each blade having a first end connected to the circumference of the base and a second end extending away from the base along the longitudinal axis and tapering toward the longitudinal axis, the plurality of blades defining a cavity between the base and the second ends of the plurality of blades within which the core of the Earth expands during shearing;
• and
• crushing the core of the Earth, by a crusher connected to the base and positioned within the cavity.

A wellbore drilling bit assembly comprising:

• a base configured to connect the wellbore drill bit assembly to a drill string along a longitudinal axis of the base, the base defining a circumference;
• a plurality of blades extending away from the base along the longitudinal axis and tapering toward the longitudinal axis, the plurality of blades arranged on the circumference to define a cavity, the plurality of blades configured to shear a core of the Earth, the cavity configured to allow the core to expand within the cavity;
• a crusher connected to the base and positioned within the cavity, the crusher configured to crush the core of the Earth;
• and
• a leading ring, the leading ring connected to a plurality of second ends of the plurality of blades, wherein the plurality of blades comprise a first blade and a second blade separated by a gap, a circumferential portion of the leading ring between a first blade and a second blade positioned within the gap and offset from a second end of the first blade and a second end of the second blade, the leading ring configured to drill the Earth and to evacuate debris.
