Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3385497A1] A method for drilling a wellbore includes: generating an optimal cluster using historical drilling data; drilling an interval of the wellbore; and while drilling the wellbore interval: generating a working cluster using data collected while drilling the wellbore interval; identifying a plurality of data points proximate to a centroid of the working cluster; selecting one of the data points that converges toward a centroid of the optimal cluster; and adjusting one or more drilling control parameters using the convergent data point.
