Applications



  • 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 


Tool Schematic





Mathematical Model




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

where 

 – along-hole measured depth 

 – is deviation from true vertical depth

 – azimuth in tangent plane.
