Abstract
Systems, devices, and methods for generating steering instructions to directing the operation of a drilling system are provided. The systems, devices, and methods may include determining an optimized path to navigate a Bottom Hole Assembly (BHA) to a steering target using one or more steering methods, such as straight line projections, rotary drilling projections, True Vertical Depth, Inclination, and Azimuth (TIA) calculations, and three dimensional “J” (3DJ) calculations, and driving the BHA to the steering target using the optimized path.
