Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of a geosteering system and methods for applying the geosteering system to a wellbore drilling operation. In one embodiment, a method comprises determining a geologic target for a wellbore; transmitting, via an application programming interface (API), the geologic target to a drilling application for controlling drilling equipment in the wellbore; receiving, via the API, drilling data from the drilling application; updating the geologic target based on the drilling data; and transmitting, via the API, the updated geologic target to the drilling application for controlling drilling equipment in the wellbore.

Abstract: The disclosure provides an automated method and autonomous steering system that automates and integrates a collision avoidance process and subsequent corrective action. The autonomous steering system implements an anti-collision (AC) method that provides collision avoidance by identifying collision risks with one or more hazards. In one example, the automated method includes: (1) detecting a collision risk of a path of a wellbore in a subterranean formation with at least one hazard, wherein the wellbore is being drilled by steering a downhole drilling tool according to the path and the path is based on a well plan for the wellbore, (2) identifying a corridor for the wellbore to avoid the at least one hazard, (3) modifying the path by incorporating the corridor, and (4) steering the downhole drilling tool according to the modified path, wherein the detecting, the identifying, the modifying, and the steering are automatically performed in real-time.
