Zusammenfassung:	Examples described herein provide a computer-implemented method for performing automated geosteering. The method includes receiving, by a processing system, formation evaluation data from a bottom hole assembly disposed in a wellbore. The method further includes determining, by the processing system, position data of a formation boundary from the formation evaluation data. The method further includes extrapolating, by the processing system, the position data to generate extrapolated position data of the formation boundary. The method further includes adjusting a trajectory of the wellbore based at least in part on the extrapolated position data of the formation boundary.
