Abstract
A downhole tool for a drillstring that includes a mud motor and a drill bit can include sensor circuitry that acquires data characteristic of operation of the mud motor, wherein the mud motor is disposed on the drillstring between the downhole tool and the drill bit; and a telemetry interface for transmission of one or more of the data and data derived metrics.
Claims20
A downhole tool for a drillstring that includes a mud motor and a drill bit, the downhole tool comprising:
- sensor circuitry that acquires data characteristic of operation of the mud motor, wherein the mud motor is disposed on the drillstring between the downhole tool and the drill bit;
- and
- a telemetry interface for transmission of one or more of the data and data derived metrics.
A method comprising:
- receiving torque measurement data as acquired by a circuitry of a downhole tool on a drillstring that includes a mud motor and a drill bit where the mud motor is located between the downhole tool and the drill bit;
- performing an assessment of the torque measurement data;
- and
- controlling one or more field operations based on the assessment.
One or more computer-readable storage media comprising processor-executable instructions to instruct a computing system to:
- receive torque measurement data as acquired by a circuitry of a downhole tool on a drillstring that includes a mud motor and a drill bit where the mud motor is located between the downhole tool and the drill bit;
- perform an assessment of the torque measurement data;
- and
- control one or more field operations based on the assessment.
