  • Patent number: 11959373
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to projecting control parameters of equipment associated with forming a wellbore, stimulating the wellbore, or producing fluid from the wellbore. A system includes the equipment and a computing device. The computing device is operable to project a control parameter value of the equipment using an equipment control process, and to receive confirmation that the projected control parameter value is within an allowable operating range. The computing device is also operable to adjust the equipment control process based on the confirmation, and to control the equipment to operate at the projected control parameter value. Further, the computing device is operable to receive real-time data associated with the forming of the wellbore, the stimulating of the wellbore, or the producing fluid from the wellbore. Furthermore, the computing device is operable to adjust the equipment control process based on the real-time data.

  • Patent number: 11346202
    Abstract: A drill bit subsystem can include a drill bit, a processor, and a non-transitory computer-readable medium for storing instructions and for being positioned downhole with the drill bit. The instructions of the non-transitory computer-readable medium can include a machine-teachable module and a control module that are executable by the processor. The machine-teachable module can receive depth data and rate of drill bit penetration from one or more sensors in a drilling operation, and determine an estimated lithology of a formation at which the drill bit subsystem is located. The control module can use the estimated lithology to determine an updated location of the drill bit subsystem, and control a direction of the drill bit using the updated location and a drill plan.
