Patent attributes
A method and system for estimating a wellbore curvature. The method may include disposing a rotary steerable system (RSS) into a borehole, storing a real-time curvature estimation for the borehole in an information handling system, wherein the information handling system is disposed on the RSS, taking a first attitude measurement at a first sensor, and taking a second attitude measurement at a second sensor. The method may further include applying a filter to at least the first attitude measurement and the second attitude measurement to form a filtered measurement set, performing a curvature estimation with the filtered measurement set to form an estimated curvature signal, comparing the estimated curvature signal to a curvature set point to find a difference, and adjusting at least one operating parameter of the RSS based on the difference.
