Abstract
The disclosure provides a drill bit having integrated sensors, a penetration monitoring system for a subterranean drill bit, and a method of drilling a borehole in a subterranean formation. In one example, the drill bit includes multiple blades configured to penetrate a subterranean formation, and at least one sensor, is integrated with the drill bit, that is configured to collect penetration data in real time during operation of the drill bit. An example of the method includes operating a drill bit in a borehole, receiving penetration data from the operating drill bit, wherein the penetration data is from at least one sensor integrated with the drill bit, and modifying drilling parameters of the drill bit based on the penetration data. The method can be for an open hole sidetrack.
