Abstract
A method of controlling drilling of a wellbore includes obtaining, during oscillation of a drill string, one or more measured torque values at one or more rotational positions of the drill string, wherein the oscillation alternates the drill string's rotation in clockwise and counter-clockwise directions. A torsional compliance of the drill string is determined based on physical or operational parameters. Using the measured torque values and the torsional compliance, a stored torque in the drill string is calculated. The drilling operation is then controlled by adjusting one or more drilling parameters based on the determined stored torque to maintain operational stability and toolface orientation.
