3 Section 1 Why Survey? Prof Angus Jamieson University of the Highlands and Islands Video presentation available at
4 Don t be in the wrong place at the wrong time!!
5 Why do we survey at all? Ensure a safe well path to the target Ensure you hit the target Ensure you don t hit another well Provide good log positions to G&G Provide good reserves estimates Report data to the regulators Conduct forensics investigations afterwards Prepared for relief well if necessary
6 Business Case? A shorter gyro run $10,000 + A proximity shut in $100,000 + A plug back sidetrack $1 million + A dry well or Dead Zone $10 million + A deep landing $100 million + A minor collision blowout $1 billion + A major collision blowout $10 billion +
7 Poor Surveying costs Production
8 Poor Surveying costs Production
9 Poor Surveying costs Production 10% production lost but we saved the cost of a gyro!
10 How serious is a blowout?
11 Blow out with no fire
12 Very High Pressures
13 Add Fire and we have disaster

42 The World
43 The Greenwich Meridian
44 The Equator
45 Latitude & Longitude
46 Transverse Mercator
47 Transverse Mercator
48 For Any Point on the Earths Surface True North is towards the North Pole
49 If a TM cylinder is wrapped at another longitude, Map North follows the cylinder
50 So unless you re at the centreline of the map, True and Grid DON T line up
51 The True Direction of Grid North is called the CONVERGENCE
52 Universal Transverse Mercator
53 Grid Convergence
54 Grid Convergence
55 The True Direction of Magnetic North is called the DECLINATION
56 With three Norths it is easy to get confused
57 MWD measures from Magnetic North
58 Gyros usually measure from True
59 But most surveys are finally reported in Grid
60 For Example if Declination was -6 degs and Convergence was +2 degs

64 Modern Gravity and Magnetic Sensors (1) Accelerometers use gravity field vector (0 degrees inclination reference) Several designs are available Exciter / pick-offs Torquer Single axis permanent magnet restoring coil pendulous arm hinge Dual axes G (2) Magnetometers use magnetic field vector (magnetic North reference) N N S N Primary coil N S S S cores Two identical cores with primary winding around (in opposite directions). Secondary coil around all. Primary current produces magnetic field in each core, equal and opposite so no voltage induced in secondary winding. When placed in an external magnetic field, an unbalance occurs and a voltage is produced in the secondary coil, this is directly proportional to the external magnetic field. Secondary coil
65 Photo-Mechanical Multishot
66 A Magnetic Drop Tool
67 The Magnetometer has no moving parts but requires three orthogonal instruments to measure the magnetic field. Accelerometers measure Inclination from vertical. Compass v Magnetometer The Compass Measures Both Inclination and Direction but is less accurate and less robust
68 Gyroscopic Effects A gyro does not want to change the orientation of the spin axis. Conventional Gyros are lined up on a reference azimuth and remain facing that way for azimuth measurement down hole.
69 Gyroscopic Principles Inertia: when the spinning portion of a gyroscope (called a rotor) is set in motion it will attempt to keep its axis of rotation continuously pointing in the same direction images 2002 Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. Precession: when a force is applied to a spinning rotor, it will attempt to compensate by rotating around an axis that is perpendicular to the applied force
70 Conventional Gyro
71 Gyroscopic Effects A gyro forced to torque around its X axis when spinning around the Y axis will start to rotate around the Z axis. This is known as Precession and can be used to measure rate of change of orientation against time. Continuous Gyro surveying integrates rate of azimuth change against time to measure its current direction.
72
73 Continuous Gyro Horizontal Earth Rotation Vector Vertical Earth Rotation Vector Gyro Sensor Wellbore Direction
74 North Seeking Gyros A North Seeking Gyro is simply a highly sensitive rate gyro which measures the earths rotation and senses the direction to the polar axis. This usually takes about 1 2 minutes of stationary sensing so is often only used in top hole (up to 15 degrees) after which the survey is run in continuous mode.

91 Building a detailed error model Find all error sources affecting Md, Inc & Az Find 1 sd values for each coefficient Work out affects on Md,inc and az Decide whether Random or Systematic Covert to errors in North, East & Vertical Build a Co Variance Matrix Work out Ellipse dimensions and orientation
92 SPE Paper # by Hugh Williamson of BP. Accuracy Prediction for Directional Measurement While Drilling Processes & procedures are followed Tools are properly calibrated Survey intervals no greater than 100 ft Non-magnetic spacing as recommended Individual surveys pass QC checks
93 Propagation of Errors The model recognises 4 modes of error propagation: Random uncorrelated from one measurement to the next Systematic correlated from one measurement to the next within one single tool run Well-by-well correlated from one measurement to the next within an entire well Global always correlated, including well to well
94 The ISCWSA MWD Model
95 Convert Observation Error to Position Error
96 Effect of Inclination Error
97 Azimuth Error only affects horizontal position
98 Building the Covariance For systematic errors dn = dn1 + dn2 + dn3... For random errors dn = sqrt(dn1^2 + dn2^2 + dn3^2...) For each error source Add up all effects in a survey station Add up all survey stations in a leg Add up all legs in a survey
99 The Co-Variance Matrix
100 In the North East Vertical Reference there may be covariances
101 Imagine a different set of orthogonal axes that don t see any covariances
102 Rotate to a new Covariance Matrix
103 Covariances are zero
104 The viewing vectors are Eigen Vectors The ellipse dimensions are Eigen Values
105 Collision Risk
106 High Collision Risk
107 Section 6 Correction Techniques Prof Angus Jamieson University of the Highlands and Islands Video presentation available at
108 Major Corrections Depth Correction There are many sources of error affecting both drill pipe and wireline length downhole but depth correction will usually address the mechanical and thermal stretch. These account for the major depth errors and can be as much as 0.2% Sag Correction This is an inclination correction to allow for the natural bending of the BHA under its own weight. It increases with inclination and can be 0.5 degrees or more. IFR Correction This usually refers to the local correction of magnetic declination and is derived from an In-Field Referencing survey of the oilfield. This can be up to 1 degree in places Magnetic Interference This applies to azimuth only and corrects for the magnetic influence of the BHA itself. It is particularly important when using short non-mag collars.

Diurnal Variation Rapid daily variations caused by solar wind and earth rotation. Typical Size: 0.2 degs (Randomized) Cured By: Interpolated In Field Referencing (IIFR) 3. Crustal Variation Permanent local effects caused by deep, magnetic basement rock Typical Size: 1 degree Cured By: In Field Referencing (described later) IFR

121 Diurnal Variation
122 Crustal Variation
123 Crustal Variation
124 Interactive IFR Map
125 Magnetic Interference The interference created by the collars in the BHA can influence the observed by several degrees. Short Collar solutions only use the X and Y mags to calculate the azimuth Multi Station Analysis uses the fact that as the BHA changes toolface and attitude, the background magnetic field is unchanged but interference components rotate with the BHA. We can therefore back out the interference components over several survey stations
126 Summary Reducing error is nearly always possible Sag is usually the biggest benefit in Vertical IFR is usually the biggest benefit in Horizontal Short Collar should only be used with caution MSA is only reliable in an accurate mag field SC and MSA do not work well when Bz small For high accuracy work nothing beats gyros
127 Section 7 Common Pitfalls Prof Angus Jamieson University of the Highlands and Islands Video presentation available at

129 Conclusion If we don t get the message out that wellbore positioning is worth spending money on, we will continue to waste reserves and occasionally risk lives.
