Abstract

Electrodes are provided in a drill bit, or alternatively, in a coring bit, to measure variations in formation resistivity surrounding an earth borehole. Three orthoganal accelerometers are also provided in the drill bit, or in the coring bit, to monitor the dynamic behavior of the bit as functions of radial, axial and tangential accelerations.
