Abstract
A system and method that include receiving sensor data during drilling of a portion of a borehole in a geologic environment. The system and method also include selecting a drilling mode from a plurality of drilling modes based at least on a portion of the sensor data. The system and method additionally include simulating drilling of the borehole using the selected drilling mode and generating a state of the borehole in the geologic environment based on the simulated drilling of the borehole. The system and method further include generating a reward using the state of the borehole and a planned borehole trajectory and using the reward through deep reinforcement learning to maximize future rewards for drilling actions.
