Abstract:
A system and method for determining fluid inflow into a wellbore. The system may include a drill string including an earth-boring tool. The drill string may further include a first array of sensors arranged radially about the drill string in a region of the drill string after the earth-boring tool. The drill string may be configured to be inserted into the wellbore and the first array of sensors may be configured to detect an inflow of fluid into the wellbore through a change in an environmental property of the wellbore.
