Opening a wellbore with a smart hole-opener

A method comprising:

• receiving, by a controller deployed within a wellbore and from a topside facility located outside of the wellbore, instructions to perform hole opening operations within the wellbore;
• transmitting, by the controller, at least a portion of the instructions to a hydraulic power unit;
• activating, by the hydraulic power unit, a retractable and extendable cone-type reamer to increase a radius of a wellbore;
• detecting a set of parameters of the hydraulic power unit and the retractable and extendable cone-type reamer from a plurality of sensors;
• determining a status of the retractable and extendable cone-type reamer in response to receiving signals from the plurality of sensors;
• and
• adjusting the cone-type reamer in response to determining the status.

A hole-opener comprising:

• a retractable and extendable tri-cone-type reamer configured to increase a radius of a wellbore;
• an extension and retraction actuator configured to extend and retract the cone-type reamer;
• a hydraulic power unit configured to control the extension and retraction actuator;
• a plurality of sensors configured to detect parameters of the hole-opener;
• a controller being operatively coupled the hydraulic power unit and the plurality of sensor, the controller configured to control the hydraulic power unit, the controller configured to be positioned in a wellbore, the controller configured to:
• receive a plurality of signals from the plurality of sensors, the plurality of signals representing the parameters detected by the plurality of sensors,
• identify the parameters represented by the plurality of signals, and
• adjust the hole-opener in response to the received plurality of signals;
• and
• a power supply configured to provide electrical power to the controller and the hydraulic power unit, the power supply configured to be positioned downhole.
