Abstract

A method of controlling drill bit trajectory in a subterranean formation includes receiving drilling parameters for operating a specific bottomhole assembly (BHA), constructing, with a computer processor, a directional drill-ahead simulator including a computer model of the BHA and the subterranean formation, calculating axial motion and lateral motion of a drill bit connected to a bottom end of the BHA using formation parameters and drilling parameters, predicting bit walk of the drill bit by accounting for and calculating contact forces and frictional forces between the BHA and a wall of a borehole in the subterranean formation using the computer model of the BHA, and determining an adjusted drill bit traj ectory to account for the predicted bit walk. The method includes determining adjusted drilling parameters for operating the BHA to substantially follow the adjusted drill bit trajectory and operating the BHA according to the adjusted drilling parameters.
