Abstract
A method, system, and computer readable medium for managing drilling operations include calibrating a drilling model using collected drilling data, and executing, during a drilling operation, a simulation on the drilling model to generate a predicted measurement value for a drilling property. During the drilling operation and from a drillstring, an actual measurement value for the drilling property is obtained. Based on the actual measurement value matching the predicted measurement value, the simulation is extended to generate a simulated state of the drilling operation during the drilling operation, and a condition of the drilling operation is detected. A notification may be presented based on the condition during the drilling operation.
