Abstract
The present disclosure describes a dynamic geo-stationary actuation technique that may be incorporated into a rotary steerable system 200. An example method described herein may include receiving a first angular orientation of a rotating housing 201 disposed in a borehole. The first angular orientation may be received from a sensor assembly 205 coupled to the housing 201, and the housing 201 may be coupled to a drill bit 203. A desired drilling direction for the drill bit 203 may also be received. A first trigger signal to a first actuator 206 coupled to the rotating housing 21 may be generated based, at least in part, on the first angular orientation and the desired drilling direction.
