WELLBORE FRICTION DEPTH SOUNDING BY OSCILLATING A DRILL STRING OR CASING
Systems and methods determine friction in a borehole during drilling operations. A drilling system applies oscillatory angular movement at the top of a drill string in a wellbore during drilling by the drilling system, and measures a torque applied to the drill string and an angular position of the drill string. Based on the measured torque and the measured angular position, the drilling system computes a friction between the borehole and the drill string. This can be repeated during drilling of the wellbore to determine multiple friction values, corresponding to various depths of the borehole. Based on the computed friction, the drilling system can perform one or more actions resulting in modified drilling operation. The systems and methods also include oscillating a casing in the borehole, measuring the torque and angular position of the casing, and determining a friction value, which can be repeated to develop a wellbore friction profile.
Slide drilling overshot control
Apparatus and operational methods thereof, including a top drive, a rotation sensor, and a processing device. The top drive connects with an upper end of a drill string. The rotation sensor facilitates rotational distance measurements indicative of rotational distance achieved by the top drive. The processing device causes the top drive to impart rotational oscillations alternatingly in opposing directions to the upper end of the drill string while maintaining a downhole toolface orientation during a slide drilling operation, such that each rotational oscillation rotates the upper end of the drill string through a base rotational distance. The processing device also causes the top drive to change the downhole toolface orientation by an offset rotational distance by adding the offset rotational distance and an overshoot rotational distance to the base rotational distance of an instance of the rotational oscillations.

Sequencing for pipe handling
A method sequence for handling tubulars into or out of a wellbore, the method comprising: moving a tubular string into or out of a wellbore via a top drive; moving tubular stands to and from a setback position and a stand handoff position via a transfer bridge racker and a setback guide arm; moving tubular stands to and from the stand handoff position and a well center position via a tubular delivery arm and a lower stabilizing arm; building stands and breaking down stands offline via a mousehole and operating a roughneck on joints between the tubular stands and the tubular string.

Inertial compensation for a quill oscillator
A drilling system configured to reduce friction during slide drilling. The drilling system has a drill string comprising a fluid-driven drill stage such as a mud motor; a variable frequency drive configured to oscillate the drill string via a quill and a sensor array. The sensor array measures the torque applied to the quill and the angular position of the quill. A controller is used to control the variable frequency drive based on the determined applied torque and quill angular position to meet predetermined oscillation turn-around criteria and to reduce the time to reduce the angular velocity of the quill from a maximum rotational speed to zero in an oscillation cycle.
