Abstract
Computing systems, computer-readable media, and methods may include determining at least one automated sequence to be performed during a portion of a drilling operation by a drilling system. The at least one automated sequence may include performing one or more actions to cause a response in the drilling system. The method may include performing, during the drilling operation, the at least one automated sequence. Further, the method may include measuring, during the performance of the at least one automated sequence, one or more responses in the drilling system. The one or more responses may be measured within a wellbore undergoing the drilling operations and at a surface of the wellbore. The method may include modifying a model of the drilling system based at least in part of the one or more responses that were measured during the performance of the at least one automated sequence.
