System and method for drilling event detection

A method of drilling a wellbore in accordance with a defined event during drilling of the wellbore, the method comprising:

• receiving, by a computer system coupled to a drilling rig, information associated with one or more drilling rig operations from the drilling rig, one or more control systems coupled thereto, and/or one or more sensors, during drilling of the wellbore;
• responsive to the information from the drilling rig, the one or more control systems, and/or the one or more sensors, determining, by the computer system, when a defined event occurs, wherein the defined event comprises at least one of an equipment malfunction, a path difference between a measured borehole and a planned borehole, an upcoming maintenance period, and an unplanned geological reading;
• determining, by the computer system, a predicted impact of the defined event, wherein the predicted impact is based at least in part on data related to one or more drilling parameters and the defined event;
• modifying, by the computer system, the one or more drilling parameters based at least in part on the predicted impact of the defined event;
• and
• sending, by the computer system, the modified one or more drilling parameters to at least one drilling rig control system of the one or more control systems in accordance with the modified one or more drilling parameters.

A non-transitory, computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to:

• receive, by a computer system coupled to a drilling rig, information associated with one or more drilling rig operations from the drilling rig, one or more control systems coupled thereto, and/or one or more sensors, during drilling of a wellbore;
• responsive to the information from the drilling rig, the one or more control systems, and/or the one or more sensors, determine, by the computer system, when a defined event occurs, wherein the defined event comprises at least one of an equipment malfunction, a path difference between a measured borehole and a planned borehole, an upcoming maintenance period, and an unplanned geological reading;
• determine, by the computer system, a predicted impact of the defined event, wherein the predicted impact is based at least in part on data related to one or more drilling parameters and the defined event;
• modify, by the computer system, the one or more drilling parameters based at least in part on the predicted impact of the defined event;
• and
• send, by the computer system, the modified one or more drilling parameters to at least one drilling rig control system of the one or more control systems in accordance with the modified one or more drilling parameters.
