Abstract
Apparatuses, methods, and systems include rotary drilling a first segment of a wellbore by rotating a drill string with a top drive forming a part of a drilling rig apparatus for a first period of time; obtaining data from a sensor disposed about the drilling rig apparatus while rotary drilling for at least a part of the first period of time; and based on the data from the sensor, determining a proposed oscillation revolution amount for the drill string to reduce friction of the drill string in the downhole bore without changing the direction of a bottom hole assembly while slide drilling.
