Lecture 2

The document discusses concepts related to anticollision in directional drilling, focusing on survey error models and methods for assessing wellbore position uncertainty. It covers the cone of error, systematic error ellipse, and the ISCWSA's error model for magnetic instruments. Additionally, it introduces various scan methods for measuring distances between designs and outlines criteria for reporting separation through warning methods.

Cone of Error

For a range of inclinations, you can enter different error cone expansion
rates. The following example shows that, from 15 to 35 degrees
inclination, the cone of error expands at 5.0/1000 ft (or 5 m/1000 m) of
measured depth.

Systematic Error Ellipse
This model is based on SPE paper 9223 by C.J.M. Wolff and J.P. de
Wardt, which was first published in the Journal of Petroleum
technology in December, 1981. The model is a statistical treatment of
the distribution of errors caused by internal and external influences.
The paper demonstrates that the major causes of error are systematic
(that is, they happen consistently in one vector direction) from one
survey reading to the next.
industry standard, but some of the example coefficient values and
weightings are not capable of modeling modern directional survey
instruments (that is, MWD and Rate Gyroscopes).
ISCWSA

The Industry Steering Committee for Wellbore Survey Accuracy has


built a survey instrument error model specifically for solid state
magnetic instruments (for example, MWD and EMS). The model is
based on a paper published by H.Williamson “Accuracy Prediction for
Directional MWD” as SPE56702. The model vastly extends the work
started with the Systematic Error model and incorporates the
experience.
