Overview

Optimum Align produces a first steering curve, a tangent, and a second steering curve to achieve the intended final inclination and azimuth or a two-target alignment.

Workflow

  1. Open Optimum Align and choose the solving mode.
  2. Specify dogleg severities and the required hold TVDs/tangent length as applicable.
  3. Define the final direction from targets or final inclination/azimuth.
  4. Calculate, then review both curves, tangent length, and final alignment in 3D.
