Abstract
A method that includes an electronic application identifying an ending of a first drilling segment and a simultaneous beginning of a second drilling segment; identifying a data set of the first drilling segment; automatically creating, in response to the identification of the first drilling segment ending, a new row in a database table that stores a data set for each drilling segment, with the new row storing the variable values of the first drilling segment; creating a multi-dimensional data matrix based on the values in the database table; and extracting, from multi-dimensional data matrix, an optimum value of a variable for an upcoming drilling segment. The method may also include determining that a trajectory or location of a rotary steering system is outside of a tolerance window; and the step of extracting the optimum value of the variable is in response to this determination.
