    Abstract: During drilling of a wellbore, in a predicting state, a drilling parameter is monitored and, based on the monitored drilling parameter, it is determined that the drilling parameter is likely to exceed a drilling parameter setpoint associated with the drilling parameter. In a mitigating state, in response to determining that the drilling parameter is likely to exceed the drilling parameter setpoint, a rate of penetration setpoint is reduced so as to mitigate a likelihood of the drilling parameter exceeding the drilling parameter setpoint. In addition, during the drilling, drilling parameter data is received. A controller is used to generate, based on the drilling parameter data, one or more drilling parameter setpoint recommendations. At least one drilling parameter setpoint recommendation is selected. The selected drilling parameter setpoint is provided to an automated drilling unit that is separate from the controller.

    Abstract: There is described a computer-implemented method of controlling a drilling operation. In particular, there is described a computer-implemented method of determining that a differential pressure is in an oscillating state. In response to determining that the differential pressure is in the oscillating state, a weight on bit setpoint is decreased so as to decrease the differential pressure. There is also described a computer-implemented method of determining a difference between a differential pressure and a target differential pressure. The target differential pressure is less than a differential pressure limit. A weight on bit setpoint is adjusted as a function of the difference between the differential pressure and the target differential pressure so as to adjust the differential pressure and thereby reduce the difference between the differential pressure and the target differential pressure.
