The system assumes that a survey tool consists of a triad of accelerometers and a triad of magnetometers. The Measurement While Drilling (MWD) survey tool measurements are only taken in stationary mode...

... Abstract Definitive dynamic 6 axis surveys provide continuous MWD quality measurement while drilling. This poses a challenge in terms of misalignment (relative to the borehole) correction when compared to traditional static survey measurements where misalignments are well understood and can...

... Abstract This paper introduces an approach for automatic measurement while drilling (MWD) survey processing that can work fully autonomously and covers the entire workflow: geomagnetic reference calculation, survey data prefiltration, corrections for drillstring interference (DSI), bottom hole...

... Abstract It is common to have measured depth exceeding 20,000 ft for unconventional oil and gas wells. To ensure the pressure pulse can be detected on the surface, many MWD tools have been designed to generate mud pressure pulse with very large amplitude. While the large pressure pulse solved...

... Abstract High-fidelity trajectory estimation combined with dual-probe Measurement-While-Drilling (MWD) directional instrumentation provides a solution to minimum curvature’s known inefficiencies in modeling the true wellbore position and definition ( Stockhausen & Lesso, 2003 ). While...

... and gross error checks on MWD surveys. However, the complexity and extent of the necessary testing and handling of the tools have prevented widespread adoption, and gyro services have remained limited to "must-have" scenarios. The benefits of solid-state technology and new developments in communication...

... to efficient stringer drilling presented here is a consistent, timely and reliable method of detecting stringers. This is enabled by a fit for purpose stringer detection algorithm embedded in a measurement-while-drilling (MWD) tool for vibration and load measurements, combined in a systems approach...

... Abstract Lateral spacing in unconventional plays can have a significant impact in the economics of field development ( Bharali et al., 2014 ; Lalehrokh & Bouma, 2014 ). This spacing is most often verified using magnetic measurement while drilling (MWD) instruments. In well spacing studies...

... drop (and hence SPP). Although such activation may be purely manual (dropping ball or RFID tags) it is still an important input to the downhole model. If activation is done by downlinking or by using "indexes on the flow rate", which are operations that may be initiated from the MWD or DCS system...

...Introduction Wellbore surveying has been around in one form or another for over a hundred years and its aims have changed little in that time. Placing a well in the reservoir while avoiding other wells is still the key requirement for wellbore surveying today. MWD measurement while...

... Abstract Wireless data transmission is an essential part of measurement-while-drilling (MWD) or logging-while- drilling (LWD). It can be achieved by several different technologies, such as mud pulse telemetry or electromagnetic (EM) telemetry. Compared with mud pulse telemetry, EM telemetry has...

... with "active" ranging technologies in salts (De Lange, J.I., Darling, Toby J., 1990), "passive" MWD Ranging was identified as the likely ranging technique due to the fact that it is not impacted by formation type (salt). Based upon the modified survey program, it was determined that a reliable range...
