Abstract
A method includes issuing control instructions by a controller to control rig equipment for drilling of a borehole in a subsurface environment, where the controller includes a tunable weight-on-bit set point control loop; during the drilling, receiving sensor data as feedback; dynamically determining a tuning parameter value for the tunable weight-on-bit set point control loop using the feedback and a trained machine learning model, where the trained machine learning model is trained using a reward function customizable for desired drilling behavior; determining a control instruction using the tuning parameter value for the tunable weight-on-bit set point control loop in the tunable weight-on-bit set point control loop; and issuing the control instruction by the controller to control the rig equipment for drilling of the borehole according to the desired drilling behavior.
