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 39):
A method for drilling a well borehole, the method comprising:\n determining, by an automated slide drilling system, that a drilling rig should begin slide drilling, wherein the slide drilling is controlled by the automated slide drilling system in communication with at least one control system of the drilling rig; determining, by the automated slide drilling system, whether an operator has indicated that the slide drilling is to be performed without further user input; determining, by the automated slide drilling system, a torque in the drill string; setting, by the automated slide drilling system, at least one drilling rig parameter to establish the torque in the drill string; controlling, by the automated slide drilling system, engagement of a drill bit with a bottom of the well borehole; determining, by the automated slide drilling system, a target range for a tool face orientation for the slide drilling; controlling, by the automated slide drilling system, an orientation of the drill bit within the target range for the tool face orientation, including sending a first control signal to the at least one control system to achieve the tool face orientation within the target range; controlling, by the automated slide drilling system, at least one rig operating parameter during the slide drilling; determining, by the automated slide drilling system, whether the slide drilling has been completed; when the slide drilling has been completed, ceasing the slide drilling by the automated slide drilling system and returning control of the drilling rig to the operator or another control system; and when the slide drilling has not been completed, then continuing the controlling, by the automated slide drilling system, of the at least one operating parameter until the slide drilling has been completed.
