Survey Corrections Beta

MWD Survey Corrections and Multi-Station Analysis

Analyze six-axis MWD measurements, verify magnetic and grid references, and calculate corrected inclination, azimuth, and wellbore position.

Compare raw and corrected surveys, inspect per-run results, and review calculated positional uncertainty.

Beta — independent verification required. Results must be independently reviewed before operational or final well-positioning decisions.

Survey Analysis

From Measurements to Corrected Surveys

Import survey measurements, check magnetic and coordinate references, then examine the corrected surveys and calculated wellbore position.

Survey Results

Raw and Corrected Surveys

Compare wellbore trajectories and station-by-station changes in inclination and azimuth.

Example results from Falcon Ridge 3H. Trajectory ellipses use different assigned raw and corrected survey error models at 2 sigma.

Sensor Diagnostics

Magnetic and Gravity Measurements

Review measured and corrected sensor values alongside the references used in the analysis.

These plots assess sensor/reference consistency, not independent bottom-hole positional accuracy.

Engineering Verification

Blind Testing Against Known Bottom-Hole Positions

DirectionalPlan has been evaluated using simulated MWD surveys with known bottom-hole locations withheld until the corrections were calculated.

10 documented eight-well validation sets met the statistical acceptance criterion in their respective verification spreadsheets.

Review the per-well errors, statistical results, and engineering limitations behind the evaluations.
