Abstract
Apparatus, systems, and methods according to which a geosteering trajectory change is efficiently communicated by presenting, on a first human-machine interface, a plurality of selectable trajectory types, each of the trajectory types representing a potential trajectory of a wellbore, selecting, via the first human-machine interface, the selectable trajectory type most closely representing a desired trajectory of the wellbore, the selected trajectory type including one or more data fields adapted to receive one or more task parameters needed to drill the wellbore along the desired trajectory, entering, via the first human-machine interface, the one or more task parameters into the one or more data fields of the selected trajectory type, and pushing the selected trajectory type and/or the one or more entered task parameters to a control system adapted to control drilling equipment to drill the wellbore along the desired trajectory.
