Methods of well stimulation during drilling operations

A method of stimulating a section of a subterranean formation comprising the steps of:

• (a) providing a drill string that comprises a stimulation tool interconnected as a part of the drill string and a drill bit attached at an end of the drill string;
• (b) drilling at least a portion of the well bore using the drill string, wherein the well bore at least penetrates a section of the subterranean formation;
• and
• (c) stimulating a section of the subterranean formation using the stimulation tool.

A method of stimulating at least one section of a subterranean formation during a drilling operation comprising the steps of:

• (a) providing a drill string that comprises a stimulation tool interconnected as a part of the drill string and a drill bit attached at an end of the drill string;
• (b) drilling at least a portion of the well bore using the drill string, wherein the well bore at least penetrates a section of the subterranean formation;
• (c) stimulating a section of the subterranean formation using the stimulation tool;
• and
• (d) removing the drill string from the well bore.
