Abstract
An integrated data recorder may be positioned within a slot in a tool. The integrated data recorder includes a sensor package that includes one or more drilling dynamics sensors, a processor in data communication with the one or more drilling dynamics sensors, a memory module in data communication with the one or more drilling dynamics sensors, a wireless communications module in data communication with the processor, and an electrical energy source in electrical communication with the memory module, the one or more drilling dynamics sensors, and the processor.
Claims45
A method comprising:
- providing a first integrated data recorder, the first integrated data recorder positioned within a tool, the tool being a steering tool of a bottomhole assembly, the first integrated data recorder including:
