  • Patent number: 10760341
    Abstract: A method of drilling a wellbore is described using a BHA including an RSS that comprises an adjustment mechanism movable between first and second configurations to alter a drilling direction of the BHA, BHA sensor(s), and a controller. The method includes drilling, using the BHA, the wellbore with the adjustment mechanism in the first configuration; receiving, by the first controller, real-time data including inclination and azimuth angle data from the BHA sensor(s); determining, by the first controller and based on the real-time data, a relationship between an actual measurement and a target measurement that is associated with a target well path; automatically moving, by the first controller and in response to the determination of the relationship, the adjustment mechanism from the first to the second configuration; and drilling, using the BHA, the wellbore while the adjustment mechanism is in the second configuration.
