UltraSense™ Bit Intelligence
The Intelligent Drill Bit incorporates sensors and microchips within its internal flow path without compromising hydraulic or mechanical performance. The first-generation UltraSense™ Bit captures real-time data on temperature, 3-axis shock and vibration, and rotational dynamics directly at the source—parameters undetectable by surface sensors.
Key Features
- High-Frequency Sensing: Data acquisition from 1000 to 1600 Hz.
- Advanced Storage: Simultaneous recording across 16 signal channels.
- Operational Modes: Supports continuous or burst recording with auto-wake functionality.
- Easy Integration: Minimal modification required; compatible with any bit size.
- Risk-Free: Negligible pressure drop and no added drilling risk.
Applications & Benefits
- Digitalization: Foundational capability for automated drilling systems.
- Dysfunction Detection: Identifies whirl, stick-slip, and complex vibrations.
- Optimization: Accelerates the drill bit design and iteration cycle.
- No Extra Tools: Measures at the bit without requiring an additional sub.
