This article demonstrates how to design the well trajectory in J-shape from the surface location to the required target depth (TD).
Information Given
- The surface location coordinate of Well-A is 6,543,065.00N 416,695.00E and the target is located at 6,542,213.00N 415,456.00E and the UTM zone is 31N.
- Kick off depth = 4,200’MD/4,200’TVD
- Planned build up rate = 2 degree/100 ft
- Well profile = J-profile (build and hold)
The surface location coordinate of Well-A is 6,543,065.00N 416,695.00E and the target is located at 6,542,213.00N 415,456.00E and the UTM zone is 31N. Therefore, the surface and the target for Well-A can be illustrated is Figure 1. Continue reading
