A system and method of automating a slide drilling operation comprising a plurality of tasks is described, in particular, reducing stored torque within a drill string that extends within a wellbore that includes storing, using a computing system, a first predetermined workflow to reduce stored torque within the drill string, and a second predetermined workflow to reduce stored torque within the drill string, wherein the first predetermined workflow comprises instructions to vertically move the drill string in first and opposing second directions; and wherein the second predetermined workflow comprises instructions to rotate the drill string in a first direction. Further included are a graphical user interface operably coupled to the computing system, a controller of the computing system receives a selection command selecting the first predetermined workflow or the second predetermined workflow, and a specific parameter is selected and one of the first and second predetermined workflows is automatically executed.

System and method of automating a slide drilling operation

Apparatuses, methods, and systems are described herein for automating toolface control of a drilling rig. Such apparatuses, methods, and systems may change operating parameters of the drilling rig responsive to detected toolface orientations. Thus, if a toolface orientation of the drilling tool is determined to be outside an advisory sector, updated operating parameters may be determined and provided to the drilling tool. The updated operating parameters may change at least one of a clockwise rotation target or counterclockwise rotation target of the drilling tool.

Automated directional steering systems and methods

Apparatuses, methods, and systems are described herein for automating toolface control of a drilling rig. Such apparatuses, methods, and systems may determine an average drilling resistance function during a rotary drilling segment and, based on the average drilling resistance function during the rotary drilling segment, determine a target set of oscillation values to be used during a slide drilling segment.

A system and method of automating a slide drilling operation comprising a plurality of tasks is described. The method includes presenting, on a GUI, selectable indicators, with each indicator being associated with one task from the plurality of tasks; wherein the GUI is coupled to a controller in communication with drilling equipment, wherein the controller is configured to: receive data from the drilling equipment; and control the drilling equipment using predetermined workflows and task parameters; receiving a selection command associated with: a selectable indicator, a first task, and a first predetermined workflow; presenting on the GUI, in response to the receipt of the selection command, a dialogue box for receiving task parameters associated with the first predetermined workflow; receiving, using the dialogue box, the task parameters; and executing, using the controller and the drilling equipment, the first task using the first predetermined workflow and the first plurality of task parameters.

Methods for treating tissue matrices and tissue matrices produced according to the methods are provided. The methods can include treating select portions of a tissue matrix with a cross-linking agent and/or a proteolytic enzyme to produce a tissue matrix with variable mechanical and/or biological properties.

Methods for localized modification of tissue products

The invention features a dry platelet composition and methods of making and using the freeze-dried platelet composition.

Dry platelet composition

The present disclosure provides an implantable medical device comprising a composite graft material including a first biologic component, such as an acellular tissue matrix, and a second non-biologic component.

Reinforced biologic material

The present invention provides for an implantable medical device comprising a hybrid composite material including a first biological component such as an acellular tissue matrix and a second non-biological component for strengthening the device after implantation.
