Examples described herein provide a method for drilling a wellbore by a wellbore operation system into a subsurface of the earth. The wellbore operation system includes a bottom hole assembly. The method includes conveying the bottom hole assembly into the wellbore. The method further includes selecting a well plan for the wellbore. The method further includes measuring well data by at least one sensor in the wellbore operation system while the bottom hole assembly is in the wellbore. The method further includes generating, by a processing device, a steering proposal based at least in part on the well plan and the well data. The method further includes drilling, with the wellbore operation system, at least a portion of the wellbore based at least in part on the steering proposal.

Adaptive trajectory control for automated directional drilling

Methods and systems for performing cleaning operations in boreholes penetrating earth formations are described. The methods include obtaining parameter information related to one or more angles of inclination, comparing the obtained parameter information to one or more criteria associated with each respective obtained parameter, generating a cuttings bed model based on the obtained parameter information, obtaining additional parameter information related to the one or more angles of inclination, updating the cuttings bed model in a pseudo-transient manner, determining that a hole cleaning operation is necessary, and at least one of (i) generating an indication that a hole cleaning operation is to be performed and (ii) automatically performing a hole cleaning operation.
