Directional Planning: Table of Directional Variables

This document contains directional drilling planning data and computations for a proposed well including: - Kick off point, target depth and departure, gradient information - Tables with depth, inclination, and azimuth values at different points along the planned wellbore - Computed wellbore radii, slant angle, and other geometric values - Formulas and values used to calculate dogleg severity and transposing between measured depth and true vertical depth
