Abstract
Methods and systems are disclosed that use a temperature sensor integral to a drill bit during drilling. The temperature sensor is configured to measure temperature associated with a cutting element of the drill bit over time during drilling. The temperature sensor is used to generate temperature data representing temperature of the cutting element of the drill bit over time during drilling. The temperature data is processed to determine and monitor at least one condition of the wellbore and/or the drill bit during drilling, such as i) detection of faults or openings or cracks or other geological rock features of the wellbore being drilled, ii) estimation of one or more drilling parameters of the drill bit (such as rate of penetration (ROP), iii) detection of lost cutting element(s), iv) detection of bit balling, and v) detection of drilling efficiency.
