Abstract

Examples described herein provide a method for drilling a wellbore by a wellbore operation system into a subsurface of the earth. The wellbore operation system includes a bottom hole assembly. The method includes conveying the bottom hole assembly into the wellbore. The method further includes selecting a well plan for the wellbore. The method further includes measuring well data by at least one sensor in the wellbore operation system while the bottom hole assembly is in the wellbore. The method further includes generating, by a processing device, a steering proposal based at least in part on the well plan and the well data. The method further includes drilling, with the wellbore operation system, at least a portion of the wellbore based at least in part on the steering proposal.
