Method for improving survey measurement density along a borehole

A method comprising:

• providing a drill string, the drill string including a measurement tool, the drill string and measurement tool positioned in a wellbore;
• taking a measurement of the wellbore with the measurement tool at a first location in the wellbore;
• coupling a pipe stand including a first selected number of tubular segments to the drill string, the first selected number being two or more, the pipe stand having a length;
• lowering or advancing the drill string and measurement tool into the wellbore the length of the pipe stand;
• taking a measurement of the wellbore with the measurement tool at a second location in the wellbore, the second location below the first location;
• raising the drill string and measurement tool a length of a second selected number of tubular segments;
• removing the second selected number of tubular segments from the drill string, the second selected number different from the first selected number;
• taking a measurement of the wellbore with the measurement tool at a third location in the wellbore, the third location above the second location and distinct from the first location;
• raising the drill string and measurement tool the length of the first selected number of tubular segments;
• removing the first selected number of tubular segments;
• and
• taking a measurement of the wellbore with the measurement tool at a fourth location in the wellbore, the fourth location above the third location and distinct from the first location.
