Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2013192365A1] A method for detecting a drill string washout event. The method includes locating a drill string in a wellbore formed in a subterranean formation. A drilling fluid is pumped into the drill string. The drill string includes a turbine that spins in response to the drilling fluid flowing therethrough. A comparison is made between a rate that the drilling fluid is pumped into the drill string and a spin rate of the turbine. A defect is determined to be formed in the drill string based upon the comparison.
