Abstract:
A drill guidance device, a method to control a trajectory of a drill, and a non-transitory computer readable medium that determine the corrected drill angle and send an output signal to a drill controller configured to control an angle of a drill. The corrected drill angle is determined by at least one of a slant angle data and a formation property data received from a sensor device. The drill guidance device, the method to control a trajectory of a drill, and the non-transitory computer readable medium can be implemented in a measuring while drilling model to provide live guidance during a drilling operation or a predictive model to plan prior to the start of a drilling operation. The corrected drill angle is acted upon by a drill controller to maximize the productivity of an oil reservoir.
