Downhole logging sensor measuring the deviation of the tool from the true vertical depth trajectory

Measured property = acceleration of the tool motion

Log Name = DEV, AZIM



Scope of Applicability



  • Assess tool orientation in 3D space 

  • Depth Matching between cased-hole logs and well schematic based on location of tubing/casing collars

  • Correct pressure gradient for well deviation to assess fluid density and fluid friction model 


Mathematical Model



\cos \theta(l) = \frac{dz}{dl}
\tan \phi(l) = \frac{dy}{dx}
