Konstantin Bulychenkov, Victor Ploskikh Abstract High-fidelity geological modeling, primarily vertical bedding, is critical in the economics of development drilling. The precise measurement of the true vertical depth (TVD) is an essential part of building such geological models. However, the TVD Read More …
Stockhausen effect can cause a substantial TVD error that is demonstrated in [1]. There are two major approaches to compensate for that. One is to utilize continuous inclination and static surveys to recalculate high def trajectory. Another approach is based Read More …
It is a common occurrence where drilling engineers would assign a tool code to an entire well despite the well having several drilling sections, particularly when measured using only MWD tools. Such practice leads to much higher wellbore positional uncertainty. Read More …
