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 11):
An automated slide drilling system for drilling a well borehole, comprising:\n at least one processor; and at least one memory coupled to the at least one processor and storing instructions executable by the at least one processor, wherein the instructions comprise instructions for:\n receiving information from a measurement-while-drilling (MWD) system, at least one sensor, and at least one rig control system during drilling of a well borehole by a drilling rig, the drilling rig further comprising a drill string having a bottom hole assembly attached thereto at one end thereof; \n determining, responsive to the information received, whether a slide is to be performed and, when the slide is to be performed, determining a length and a direction of the slide; \n determining a current tool face; \n determining when a tool face adjustment is indicated for the slide and, when the tool face adjustment is indicated, determining an amount of the tool face adjustment, and sending a first control signal to the at least one drilling rig control system to adjust the tool face by the amount of the tool face adjustment; \n determining if oscillation of the drill string will assist the slide and, when the oscillation will assist the slide, identifying a magnitude and a frequency of the oscillation, and sending a second control signal to the at least one drilling rig control system to implement the magnitude and the frequency of the oscillation; \n sending a third control signal to the at least one drilling rig control system to rotate the drill bit; \n maintaining the tool face within a target range during the slide; and \n determining if the slide is complete and, when the slide is complete, sending a fourth control signal to the at least one drilling rig control system to stop the slide.
