Abstract
Processes utilize collected resistivity data from an ultra-deep resistivity tool located downhole a borehole. A machine learning system (MLS) can be utilized to analyze and process the resistivity data. Directions can be generated using the resistivity data that is communicated to other systems, such as a geo-steering, an evaluation, or other borehole systems. In some aspects, a recommendation can be generated that includes subterranean formation characteristics with the directions. The recommendation can be used by a user system to approve or reject the directions prior to being communicated to a borehole system or geo-steering system. In some aspects, a confidence level can be generated with the directions or recommendation, and the confidence level can be evaluated whether it satisfies a confidence level threshold. In some aspects, when the confidence level threshold is satisfied, the directions can be automatically communicated to the geo-steering system without user review.
