A relatively simple, general, and very flexible method to design complex, three-dimensional
hole trajectories can be obtained by using a 3D extension for Bézier curves. This approach …

This paper serves to provide a technical overview of the Real-Time Drilling (RTD) analytics
system currently developed and deployed. It also serves to share practices used in …

Fluid motion planners are a type of artificial potential field (APF) motion planners that use the
differential equations of fluid flow to determine the desired trajectory. The fluid flow approach …

The only standard drillstring model in use today is the torque-drag model, and because of
the simplicity and general availability of this model, it has been used extensively for planning …

One primary objective of drone simulation is to evaluate diverse drone configurations and
contexts aligned with specific user objectives. The initial challenge for simulator designers …

One key objective of Cyber-Physical System (CPS) simulation is to evaluate different CPS
configurations regarding a certain user objective. First, simulation of CPS necessitates …

The amount of uncertainty related to directional drilling makes it challenging to accurately
model and predict the results of drilling actions, leaving much to human know-how and …

Purpose–This paper aims to describe real time improvements to the performance and
trajectories of robots for which paths had already been planned by some means, automatic …

To improve magnetic disturbance rejection and robustness of wellbore survey
measurements, an adaptive neuro network-based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) filter for …

Directional drilling is a complex operation that is difficult to execute with precision and
repeatability. It is challenging to accurately model and predict the results of drilling actions …
