A Geomechanically-Informed Framework for Wellbore Trajectory Prediction: Integrating First-Principles Kinematics with a Rigorous Derivation of Gated Recurrent Units
Shubham Kumar & Anshuman Sahoo · Asian Journal of Geological Research · 2026
Precise wellbore trajectory prediction is a crucial task in subsurface engineering, dictated by nonlinear interactions among the drilling assembly and inhomogeneous geology. This study devises a mathematically well-posed framework for trajectory prediction that transitions beyond...
