Abstract
Optimizing performance of an automated control system for drilling may include obtaining instructions to deploy a plurality of event-driven drilling activities comprising a drilling process, obtaining default parameters for a first instance of a first activity of the event-driven drilling activities, deploying the first activity of the drilling activities using the default parameters, comprising performing signal analysis on signal data from one or more sensors utilized for the first activity. Optimizing performance of an automated control system for drilling may also include detecting a trigger for a first instance of a second activity using the default parameters, and determining a trigger signature based on the signal analysis when the trigger for the first instance of the second activity is detected, wherein, when a second instance of the first activity is deployed, the trigger signature is utilized to trigger the deployment of a second instance of the second activity.
