Abstract
Systems, devices, and methods for visualizing and steering a drilling apparatus are provided, including a drill string with a bottom hole assembly (BHA), a sensor system, and a controller operable to generate a visualization comprising one or more drilling windows representing drilling tolerances of a drill plan of the drilling operation and a depiction of a location of the BHA based on the one or more measurable parameters of the drilled wellbore. The differences between the location of the BHA and the one or more drilling windows may also be visualized. This visualization may be used by an operator to steer the drilled wellbore.
