Abstract
Methods and apparatus pertaining to scaling of the proportional gain and the integral gain in PI controllers of an autodriller based on drilling context. For example, a proportional gain and an integral gain are each determined for utilization by a PI controller of an autodriller controlling operation of equipment to be utilized for a drilling operation to drill a borehole into a subterranean formation. During the drilling operation, the integral gain is updated in real-time utilizing current values of drilling parameters that change with respect to time.
