Abstract:
An automated slide drilling system (ASDS) may be used with a drilling rig system to control slide drilling. The ASDS may autonomously control slide drilling without user input during the slide drilling. The ASDS may further support a transition from rotary drilling to slide drilling to rotary drilling without user input during the transitions. The ASDS may also support user input and user notifications for various steps to enable manual or semi-manual control of slide drilling by a driller or an operator.

Claim (Index 1):
A drilling rig system, comprising:\n a drilling rig further comprising at least one control system; a drill string coupled to the drilling rig; a drill bit coupled to a first end of the drill string; and a computer system in communication with and operable to control the at least one control system of the drilling rig, wherein the computer system further comprises a processor, a memory, and instructions stored in the memory that are capable of execution by the processor, wherein the computer system is adapted to receive at least one input during operation of the drilling rig and the instructions are adapted to perform the following operations: (i) determine that the drilling rig is to enter a slide drilling mode to perform a slide drilling operation of a wellbore; (ii) begin the slide drilling operation either from a rotary drilling mode or after a connection of a pipe to the drill string has been made; (iii) establish a torque value in the drill string; (iv) engage a bottom of the wellbore with the drill bit; (v) determine a target tool face for the slide drilling operation; (vi) maintain the target tool face within predetermined limits during the slide drilling operation; (vii) control the slide drilling mode until the computer system determines that the slide drilling operation is complete; (viii) resume rotary drilling mode or prepare for a survey at an upcoming end of a current drill pipe stand; and (ix) set at least one parameter associated with at least one of: an equipment parameter, a drilling parameter, and a formation parameter.
