August 21st, 1998. Abstract: "A
numerical control unit and method is provided for determining a change
in a positional setting in a downhole tool used to drill a wellbore, the
numerical control unit comprising a plurality of rules in an IF...THEN format
based on the current position of the wellbore and a
preferred position of the wellbore." |
