1.5.12.3 Closure Distance, Closure Angle and DLS<br />

www.alt.lu<br />

For each depth sample of the Northing and Easting coordinates calculated with the<br />

former process a Closure Distance (or drift) from the TVD axis and a Closure Angle<br />

(or Drift Direction) in [deg] can be calculated and output in a Well or Mud Log.<br />

Units of the Closure Distance values are the same as for Northing and Easting.<br />

Additionally a channel containing the curvature – also known as Dog Leg Severity –<br />

is computed. The units are [deg/100ft] or [deg/30m]<br />
