Abstract
Systems, devices, and methods for measuring toolface angles on a drilling rig and calculating a slide stability score are provided. The slide stability score may represent an amount of consistency of the toolface angle of a bottom hole assembly (BHA) of the drilling rig during a slide drilling operation. Calculating the slide stability score may include measuring one or more toolface angles of the BHA during the slide drilling operation, comparing the measured one or more toolface angles, and calculating the consistency of the toolface angle using the measured one or more toolface angles.
