Abstract
The disclosure recognizes the benefit in determining the dimensions of a wellbore for updating a performance model and changing drilling parameters in real time for steering a drill bit. The disclosed system and method provide improved control for steering a drill bit by obtaining dimension measurements of the wellbore proximate a drill bit and considering the dimension measurements to adjust one or more of the drilling parameters in real time. A method of drilling a wellbore a drilling system, and a drilling tool are disclosed herein. In one example, the method includes: (1) receiving dimension measurements of a wellbore during drilling of the wellbore by a drilling tool, (2) updating an existing performance model of the drilling tool in real time based on the dimension measurements, and (3) operating the drilling tool based on the updated performance model.
