An application I wrote for Windows (in C#) to provide a quick method to:

  • Extrapolate and interpolate depths and dip from directional drilling data, using the minimum curvature method
  • Calculate dip between two given data points.
  • Perform lag / annular velocity calcuations.

Minimum curvature method detailed here.

It's something I made for my own purposes, and to make something useful while learning some C#, but if you find it useful, feel free to use it, distribute it etc.

Tool will also provide a annular velocity / lagtime calculation, as detailed here.

Or, simply: image2 , with optional inputs to account for HWDP and collars.
