Claim 9:
10. A computer-implemented method of controlling a drilling operation, comprising:
determining a relationship between a weight on bit and a differential pressure;
determining, based on the relationship and based on a target differential pressure range, a target weight on bit range, wherein the target differential pressure range is less than a differential pressure limit;
adjusting, based on the target weight on bit range, a weight on bit setpoint so as to adjust the differential pressure and thereby maintain the differential pressure within the target differential pressure range;
determining that the target weight on bit range is not compliant with one or more existing weight on bit setpoint limits; and
in response determining that the target weight on bit range is not compliant with the one or more existing weight on bit setpoint limits, adjusting the target weight on bit range so that the target weight on bit range is compliant with the one or more existing weight on bit setpoint limits.
