Abstract
A method for controlling directional drilling including defining a cost function that includes at least one penalty condition associated with a control input. A controller is provided with a current position of the drilling tool and a reference position of a predetermined wellbore path. The controller determines an optimal trajectory for a curved path based on the cost function and the current position and reference position. The optimal trajectory originates from the current position and substantially intersects the reference position. As a result, the controller instructs the drilling tool to generate a wellbore path based on the optimal trajectory.
