Abstract
A subterranean formation is drilled using a drill bit of a bottomhole assembly to form a wellbore in the subterranean formation. The bottomhole assembly includes a storage chamber and sidewall coring bits. While the bottomhole assembly is disposed within the wellbore, a sidewall of the wellbore is cut into using the sidewall coring bits to obtain sidewall core samples. While cutting into the sidewall of the wellbore using the sidewall coring bits, fluid is circulated through the wellbore. The sidewall core samples are received within the storage chamber.
