Claim 0:
1. A method for controlling a drilling operation in a subterranean formation, comprising:
generating a simulated well log for a simulated vertical well based, at least in part, on a subset of an MWD log from an offset horizontal well, wherein the subset of the MWD log is for measured depths between a starting measured depth and an ending measured depth;
monitoring and/or controlling a drilling operation of drilling a deviated/horizontal wellbore based, at least in part, on the simulated well log generated for the simulated vertical well;
generating an alert that the deviated/horizontal wellbore is a predefined distance below the top of a target window or above the bottom of the target window or is no longer within the target window; and
using the alert to warn a drilling operator that some operation needs modification or correction.
