Abstract

A method of identifying a steering command for a rotary steerable system ('RSS') that includes identifying, by one or more processors, a solution arc for an upcoming drilling segment; automatically identifying, by the one or more processors and in response to the identification of the solution arc, the steering command for the RSS; and automatically identifying, by the one or more processor and in response to the identification of the steering command, downlink commands to be sent to the RSS. Automatically identifying, by the one or more processors and in response to the identification of the solution arc, the steering command for the RSS comprises: accessing a table that models a relationship between dogleg severity and a percentage of steering force; and identifying, using the table, the target steering force associated with the target dogleg severity.
