    Abstract: A system for, and method of, drill deviation handling within a stand while drilling a wellbore are presented. The techniques include: receiving, by an electronic processor and during a stand, drill state data; comparing, by the electronic processor and during the stand, the drill state data to an active drill plan; detecting, by the electronic processor and based on the comparing, an out-of-tolerance deviation of a drill parameter; and providing, by the electronic processor, an alert of the out-of-tolerance deviation.

    Abstract: A method and system for finding and efficiently evaluating and selecting a wellbore path that accounts for placement rules and the presence of existing wells. A topological representation of the connected paths is created and managed. The topological representation may be generated as a pre-computed database of space information that represents the locations of existing wells and accounts for restrictions such as anti-collision and the parameters, including geological and drilling equipment parameters. Using such a representation, the design of a wellbore path may be completed quickly and more efficiently. The topology may represent all connected space for a section of the subsurface. This topological representation may be used to evaluate all possible paths from the starting point (surface location, tie-in point for a sidetrack, tie-in point for replanning, etc.) to the target and enable selecting the path that meets the conditions and is optimized for the existing constraints.

    Abstract: A method for controlling a drilling trajectory of a downhole tool includes receiving a drilling plan for a downhole tool to drill a wellbore toward a target in a subterranean formation. The method also includes receiving a measured drilling trajectory of the downhole tool after the downhole tool drills a first portion of the wellbore using the planned drilling trajectory. The method also includes determining a state of the downhole tool based at least partially upon the planned drilling trajectory and the measured drilling trajectory. The state includes a difference between the planned drilling trajectory and the measured drilling trajectory, a level of control of a steering capability of the downhole tool, and a location of an end of the wellbore. The method also includes generating a working plan trajectory based at least partially upon the state of the downhole tool and the drilling plan.

    Abstract: A method for determining a total torque output at a drill bit includes receiving an on-bottom pressure and an off-bottom pressure. The method also includes determining a differential pressure based upon the on-bottom pressure and the off-bottom pressure. The method also includes receiving a surface torque. The method also includes determining a torque transmission coefficient based at least partially upon the differential pressure and the surface torque. The method also includes determining the total torque output at the drill bit based at least partially upon the differential pressure, the surface torque, and the torque transmission coefficient.

    Abstract: A method includes receiving at least one drilling condition input from at least one sensor of a drilling rig, obtaining a first slide mode determination based at least partially on a rotational speed of a drill string, obtaining a second slide mode determination based at least partially on torque applied to the drill string, selecting one of the first or second slide mode determinations based on the at least one drilling condition input, determining that the drilling rig is in slide mode based on the selected one of the first or second slide mode determinations, calculating at least one steering parameter based at least in part on determining that the drilling rig is in slide mode, and executing at least one drilling operation based in part on the at least one steering parameter.

    Abstract: A system and method that may include receiving real-time downhole data from one or more sensors of a drillstring disposed in a borehole in a subsurface geologic region during a directional drilling operation. The system and method also include selecting a drillstring drilling mode from a plurality of drillstring drilling modes. The system and method may additionally include predicting, in real-time, characteristics of a hole bottom of the borehole using the drilling mode model and at least a portion of the real-time downhole data. The system and method may further include controlling the directional drilling operation using one or more of the characteristics.
