  • WELL PLANNING SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20240011385
    Abstract: A system and method that include receiving a digital well plan and issuing drilling instructions for drilling a well based at least in part on the digital well plan. The system and method also include comparing acquired information associated with drilling of the well with well plan information of the digital well plan to determine if there is at least one deviation from the digital well plan. The system and method additionally include performing a search of a database upon determining that there is the at least one deviation, wherein the search generates results that comprise at least one outcome that is classified as being a positive outcome or a negative outcome. The system and method further include training a neural network as a machine learning model based on the results to electronically adjust the digital well plan to increase a likelihood of at least one positive outcome.
