Abstract
Directional Steering System (DSS) has been established for well drilling in the oilfield in order to accomplish high reservoir productivity and to improve accessibility of oil reservoirs in complex locations. Rotary Steerable System (RSS) is the current state of the art in directional drilling. In this work we address the problem of real time control of RSS with unknown formation friction and rock strength. The work presents an online control scheme for real time optimization of drilling parameters to maximize rate of penetration and minimize the deviation from the planned well bore trajectory. Detailed mathematical formulation and computer simulation will be used for evaluation of the performance of the proposed technique, based on real well data.
