Drilling systems and methods with iterative drilling parameter testing

A method for drilling a wellbore, the method comprising:

• (a) providing a computer system coupled to one or more control systems of a drilling rig;
• (b) initiating, by the computer system, a sweep through a plurality of values for one or more first drilling parameters, wherein the sweep comprises changing the values of the one or more drilling parameters through a range from a first value to an end value;
• (c) for each of the plurality of values, receiving, by the computer system, information from at least one sensor, wherein the information is associated with one or more second drilling parameters;
• (d) responsive to the information associated with the one or more second drilling parameters received during the sweep through a plurality of values of the one or more first drilling parameters, determining, by the computer system, a condition related to drilling the wellbore;
• and
• (e) responsive to the determined condition, modifying, by the computer system, the value for the one or more first drilling parameters.

A drilling system comprising a computer system coupled to one or more control systems of a drilling rig, configured to:

• (a) initiate a sweep through a plurality of values for one or more first drilling parameters, wherein the sweep comprises changing the values of the one or more drilling parameters through a range from a first value to an end value;
• (b) receive, for each of the plurality of values, information from at least one sensor, wherein the information is associated with one or more second drilling parameters;
• (c) determine, responsive to the information associated with the one or more second drilling parameters received during the sweep through a plurality of values of the one or more first drilling parameters, a condition related to drilling a wellbore;
• and
• (d) modify, responsive to the determined condition, the value for the one or more first drilling parameters.
