These formulas have also been derived by Gordon B. Guo et al, under the name“Constant-
Turn-Rate-Method.” (Gordon B. Guo, 1991). This method gives good results and is the same
method used in Compass. This method is sought to give exact results of the departure, and is a
method that enable to plan wells with parameters that can be used directly in the field. As this
model is one of the few methods discussed to some detail, it is the one chosen for most of the
3D functions in the programmed model supporting this thesis.
