5.1.

4 Build & Turn, Point

This function has the same input values as the previous Build & Turn functions, but it is a
function of a predetermined point or target, given by its position coordinates of north, east and
true vertical depth (x,y,z).

The function goes through an iteration process trying to find proper final angles for
inclination and azimuth to reach desired target or point, by using “Exact departures method”
Eq. 4.20-4.22. The model finds the proper angles to reach the target within a set error.

The iteration process runs through every possible combination of final inclination and
azimuth to find suitable build and turn rates to hit the target. As soon as the function finds a
solution with in the given error, the values are stored in a table, which is the final output of
this function. This table is given in table 5.2. Here, all the different solutions are presented.

Inclination Azimuth North [m] East [m] TVD [m] Build [deg/m] Turn [deg/m] DLS [deg/m]
