Abstract
The present invention provides a drilling system (10) that utilizes an integrated bottom hole assembly (90). The bottom hole assembly contains sensors (59, S1-S6, 64, 76, 74) for determining the health of the bottom hole assembly, borehole condition, formation evaluation characteristics, drilling fluid physical and chemical properties, bed boundary conditions around and in front of the drill bit, seismic maps and the desired drilling parameters that include the weight on bit, drill bit speed and the fluid flow rate. A downhole processor (70) controls the operation of the various devices in the bottom hole assembly to effect changes to the drilling parameters and the drilling direction to optimize the drilling effectiveness.
