Abstract

A method of controlling a drilling operation includes receiving rate-of-penetration (ROP) data. The ROP data is indicative of a rate-of-penetration of a drill bit being operated during the drilling operation. Based on the ROP data, an ROP variability condition is determined to have been met. This includes determining that a variability of the rate-of-penetration has exceeded a threshold. A peak-shaving operation is then activated, which includes adjusting, based on the ROP data, an ROP setpoint. The drilling operation is then controlled according to the adjusted ROP setpoint.
