    This document provides instructions for calculating parameters for directional drilling. It describes how to calculate: 1) the radius and length of the build up section using trigonometry; 2) the measured depth, true vertical depth, and horizontal deviation at the end of the build section; and 3) the total along hole depth at the target location by adding the end of build depth to the distance to the target.

    Directional Drilling Tutorial

    • Radius of the Build up Section

    x = tan-1 ()
    x = 0.96

    y = 20.99
    Measured depth at end of build section: AE
    AE = AB (KOP depth) + BE (Build up curved length)

    AE = 2000 + 1097.5 = 3097.5ft


    TVD at end of build: AX
    AX = AB + PE
    PE = Rsin = 1071.39ft
    AX = 2000 + 1071.39 = 3071.39ft
    • Horizontal deviation at end of build
    XE = OB – OP
    OB = R
    OP = R cos α = 2658.47ft
    XE = 2866.24 - 2658.47 = 207.77ft

    • Along Hole Depth at target (Total Measured Depth): AT


    AT = AE + ET
    AE = 3097.5ft
    AT = 3097.50 + 7470.12 = 10567.62ft.
