Abstract

A computer-implemented method for drilling a curve section of a wellbore in a subsurface formation. The method comprises obtaining a curvature setpoint. The method comprises obtaining drilling process feedback from a drilling assembly drilling the curve section of the wellbore. The method comprises updating a scheduling parameter vector based on the drilling process feedback. The method comprises updating a controller, wherein the controller is configured with the scheduling parameter vector. The method comprises determining an error based on the curvature setpoint and the drilling process feedback. The method comprises inputting the error into the controller. The method comprises determining, via the controller, steering decisions based on the error and the scheduling parameter vector.
