摘要

The measurement of continuous real-time inclination providesnear instantaneous calculations of the build-up rate tendencyof a bottom hole assembly in both rotary and slide drillingmodes. The addition of an azimuthal measurement nowallows for the calculation of wellbore position with thiscontinuous data. The true nature of the wellbore curvature inslide/rotate directional drilling with steerable systems is lostwhen using the typical 90-foot survey interval. Continuoussurveying shows this effect. When wellbore position iscalculated with the continuous surveys, a significant positionaldiscrepancy from the stationary surveys can occur.A study was conducted using both stationary and continuoussurvey data from over 20 wells in Nigeria, Angola, the Gulf ofMexico, the North Sea and Indonesia. The objective was todetermine the magnitude and scope of TVD positional errorcaused by the different slide and rotate curvatures betweenstationary surveys on a wide range of wells. These curvaturesare not reamed out as commonly thought. They can still beseen in continuous gyro surveys taken after drilling hasfinished. This positional effect is not a function of the sensoraccuracy, but it is a result of the environment in which surveysare measured. We show that in a horizontal well the effect canaccumulate up to plus/minus 25 ft TVD. The implications ofthese results are far reaching. Survey positions are used increating structure and reservoir maps, which are used indetermining reserves and recovery efficiencies, and in turn formaking field management decisions.This paper highlights the results of the field studies. A reviewof rotary steerable system operations shows that the effect ismuch less than with steerable motors, but can still beof concern. A low-cost solution for effectively determining when to slideand rotate with respect to the stationary survey is presented.This procedure results in a positional accuracy that can bemaintained without changing survey data managementpractices.
