Abstract
Various implementations described herein refer to a method. The method may include receiving first gyro-while-drilling (GWD) survey data acquired using a first survey tool disposed within a wellbore. The method may include receiving second GWD survey data acquired using a second survey tool disposed within the wellbore. The method may include generating a survey of the wellbore based on the first GWD survey data and the second GWD survey data for directional control of wellbore trajectories.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving first gyro-while-drilling (GWD) survey data acquired using a first survey tool disposed within a wellbore;
- receiving second GWD survey data acquired using a second survey tool disposed within the wellbore;
- and
- generating a survey of the wellbore based on the first GWD survey data and the second GWD survey data for directional control of wellbore trajectories.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a first survey tool disposed within a wellbore, wherein the first survey tool acquires first gyro-while-drilling (GWD) survey data;
- and
- a second survey tool disposed within the wellbore, wherein the second survey tool acquires second GWD survey data,
- a controller that receives the first GWD survey data from the first survey tool, receives the second GWD survey data from the second survey tool, and generates a survey of the wellbore based on the first GWD survey data and the second GWD survey data for directional control of wellbore trajectories.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon a plurality of computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
- receive first gyro-while-drilling (GWD) survey data acquired using a first survey tool disposed within a wellbore;
- receive second GWD survey data acquired using a second survey tool disposed within the wellbore;
- and
- generate at least one survey of the wellbore based on the first GWD survey data and the second GWD survey data for directional control of wellbore trajectories.
