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):
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: receiving information from a measurement-while-drilling (MWD) system, receiving information from at least one sensor, and receiving information from 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 including the MWD system; determining, responsive to the information received, when a slide is to be performed; determining a current tool face; responsive to the current tool face, determining whether a tool face adjustment is indicated for the slide; when the tool face adjustment is indicated:\n determining an amount of the tool face adjustment; and \n sending a first control signal to the at least one drilling rig control system to adjust the current tool face by the amount of the tool face adjustment; \n establishing a desired torque in the drill string, \n when oscillation of the drill string is indicated to assist the slide, determining a magnitude and a frequency indicated for the oscillation of the drill string, and sending a second control signal to the at least one drilling rig control system to implement the magnitude and the frequency indicated for the oscillation; sending a third control signal to the at least one drilling rig control system to rotate the drill bit; performing the slide, including maintaining the current tool face within a target range during the slide; and when the slide is complete, sending a fourth control signal to the at least one drilling rig control system to stop the slide.
