Abstract
A method can include acquiring resistivity measurements using a downhole tool of a drillstring disposed in a borehole in a subsurface environment; performing a resistivity measurement-based inversion to generate a structural representation of a portion of the subsurface environment that includes an end of the borehole; generating a control instruction using an artificial intelligence framework and the structural representation, where the control instruction is for lengthening the borehole along a current borehole trajectory or a different borehole trajectory; and controlling the drillstring to lengthen the borehole based on the control instruction.
