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 31):
A method for maintaining tool face orientation during drilling, the method comprising:\n determining, by a computer system, whether to modify a rate of penetration (ROP) of a drill bit in a borehole; responsive to the determining, sending, by a computer system, a first signal to at least one control system coupled to a drilling rig to modify at least one of a weight on bit (WOB) and a differential pressure (DP) of a drilling fluid in the borehole to respectively modify the ROP by an ROP offset determined by the computer system; and sending, by the computer system, a second signal to the at least one control system for adjusting an angular rotation of a top drive of the drilling rig to modify the ROP by the ROP offset, wherein a tool face orientation within a desired range of a target tool face orientation is maintained.
