UltraSense™ Bit Intelligence

The Intelligent Drill Bit incorporates sensors and microchips within its internal flow path without compromising hydraulic or mechanical performance, enabling real-time measurement and storage of critical drilling parameters directly at the bit. The first-generation UltraSenseTM Intelligence Bit captures downhole data on temperature, 3-axis shock and vibration, and rotational dynamics—parameters that cannot be reliably obtained by surface-based sensors.

Application

    This high-fidelity data is essential for monitoring and analyzing the drilling process, optimizing operational parameters, improving efficiency, preventing dysfunctions, and accelerating the drill bit design and iteration cycle. Advanced signal processing enables identification of downhole phenomena such as whirl, stick-slip, and torsional, axial, and lateral vibrations. Direct measurement at the bit is a foundational capability for advancing drilling digitalization and enabling intelligent, automated drilling systems.

    Feature

    • Comprehensive sensing of 4 to 7 key drilling parameters
    • High-frequency data acquisition at 1000 to 1600 Hz
    • Supports continuous or burst recording modes
    • Simultaneous recording across 16 signal channels
    • Sleep mode with automatic wake-up functionality
    • Minimal bit modification and easy integration into any bit size
    • Negligible pressure drop and no added drilling risk

    Benefits

    • Captures downhole conditions undetectable by surface sensors
    • No additional sub required—measures directly at the bit
    • Identifies stick-slip, whirl, and damaging shocks and vibrations
    • Enables detailed post-run analysis
    • Enhances drilling efficiency and safety with bit-level data
