Abstract
A system and method that include receiving sensor data during drilling of a portion of a borehole in a geologic environment. The system and method also include selecting a drilling mode from a plurality of drilling modes based at least on a portion of the sensor data. The system and method additionally include simulating drilling of the borehole using the selected drilling mode in a multi-dimensional spatial environment to generate a simulated state of the borehole in the geologic environment. The system and method further include analyzing the simulated state of the borehole and generating a reward using the simulated state of the borehole and a planned borehole trajectory and using the reward to train an agent to provide automated directional drilling with transitions between at least one of: a plurality of drilling modes and a plurality of toolface settings.
