Methods for assisted and automated horizontal well geosteering

A method for geosteering a portion of a well comprising:

• storing data from an original well log in a computer system configured with geosteering software and downhole sensor interfaces;
• creating a distorted well log based on the original well log by adding noise and depth distortion to the original well log, wherein the distorted well log is created synthetically to imitate a desired nearby formation;
• training a neural network based on the original well log and the distorted well log using a plurality of correlation algorithms to identify formation patterns and enhance the neural network's recognition of formation characteristics in real time;
• calculating a similarity score for each of the plurality of correlation algorithms;
• ranking the correlation algorithms based on similarity scores;
• selecting the algorithm with the highest-ranked similarity score;
• correlating the vertical and the deviated portion of a horizontal well log with a typewell log using the trained neural network;
• drilling a wellbore along a first wellbore trajectory within a deviated section of the wellbore using a downhole tool with a drill bit, with the first wellbore trajectory is having a first inclination angle and a first azimuth angle;
• sending commands, using the trained neural network, to adjust the drill bit to a second inclination angle and a second azimuth angle to change from the first wellbore trajectory to a second wellbore trajectory.
