DD Calaculations

This document contains several formulae used in directional drilling to calculate: - The angle at the drill bit given meters set and dogleg per meter - Turn rate required to hit a target azimuth from the azimuth at the bit - Resulting vertical section if build rate changes - Inclination at the bit given build rate and distance to bit - TVD at the bit given inclination and previous inclination - Build rate required to reach a target given present inclination and TVD remaining
