Publication number: 20230243252Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 12, 2023Publication date: August 3, 2023Inventors: Todd W. Benson, Teddy CHEN, Joshua Miles BRINKLEY, John Jeremy CANTWELL, Eric Alan NOLTE, Robert Tyler QUARLES, Sashmit BHADURI, Zarko BIZACA, Kevin MIMS, Brian STOKELD

Publication number: 20220170324Abstract: In a drilling system, a control system coupled to a drilling rig controls a bottom hole assembly (BHA) to drill a borehole through a geological formation along a drilling path. The control system determines a present position of the BHA and calculates a toolface vector to create a convergence path from the present position of the BHA to a desired target path. The control system also receives geological information and compensates the toolface vector to account for an estimated geologic formation drift. The control system causes at least one control parameter to be modified in order to alter a drilling direction of the BHA based on the calculated toolface vector and transmits the at least one control parameter to the drilling rig to target the BHA in accordance with the calculated toolface vector. The control system iteratively performs this process until convergence with the desired target path is achieved.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 18, 2022Publication date: June 2, 2022Inventors: Todd W. BENSON, Teddy CHEN, Sashmit BHADURI

Patent number: 10472893Abstract: A surface steerable system coupled to a drilling rig receives BHA information from a bottom hole assembly (BHA) located in a borehole. The BHA information corresponds to a first location of the BHA with respect to a target drilling path and geological formation drift information. The surface steerable system calculates a toolface vector to create a convergence path from the first location of the BHA to the target drilling path that accounts for geological formation drift defined by the geological formation drift information such that the BHA will converge with the target drilling path by drilling in accordance with the toolface vector. The surface steerable system causes at least one control parameter to be modified in order to alter a drilling direction of the BHA based on the calculated toolface vector and transmits the at least one control parameter to the drilling rig to target the BHA in accordance with the calculated toolface vector.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2016Date of Patent: November 12, 2019Assignees: Motive Drilling Technologies, Inc., Board of Regents, The University of Texas SystemInventors: Todd W.

Patent number: 9297205Abstract: A method includes receiving toolface information corresponding to a location of the bottom hole assembly (BHA) with respect to a target drilling path and drift information. The surface steerable system calculates a first toolface vector from a first location of the BHA to the target drilling path to create a convergence path to the target drilling path and calculates an adjustment of the first toolface vector to a second toolface vector to account for system drift defined by the drift information such that the BHA will converge with the target drilling path by drilling in accordance with the second toolface vector. The surface steerable system modifies at least one drilling parameter to alter a drilling direction of the BHA based on the calculated second toolface vector and transmits the at least one drilling parameter to the drilling rig to target the BHA in accordance with the second toolface vector.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2015Date of Patent: March 29, 2016Assignees: Hunt Advanced Drilling Technologies, LLC, Board of Regents, The University of Texas SystemInventors: Todd W.
