WELLS & LOGS CANADA CONTINUED DIRECTIONAL SURVEYS IHS Directional Surveys provides the most accurate subsurface orientation of the path of a deviated well bore. Every point in a well bore has both true vertical depth (TVD) and measured depth (MD). Directional Surveys information provided by IHS has been captured for over 98% of all deviated or horizontal wells in Canada. Directional Surveys Data provides access to thousands of identified wells, including data such as TVD, MD, Northing and Easting, Inclination, and Azimuth. All surveys are extrapolated to total depth where possible, providing a more precise bottom hole location. IHS aggressively verifies directional survey data: 24 Recent Enhancements · IHS increased our coverage of Directional Surveys from 98.7% to 99.4% of applicable wells. »» Surface hole is verified from survey plat where required »» Bottom hole is verified against deviation survey »» Deviation and horizontal flags are verified »» Latitudes and longitudes are calculated for all survey stations and verified against well coordinates »» Total depth and TVD are verified against well data Wells extrapolated to total depth are used to verify proper well location, and all surveys are validated against the original survey plats. Because of these efforts, we report hundreds of directional survey location errors to provincial governments each year. For example, over 7,000 slant-rig directional surveys were incorrectly reported and were corrected by IHS. RIG LOCATION Sourced from JuneWarren-Nickle’s Energy Group, IHS Rig Location Data keeps you up-to-date with Canada’s drilling rig fleet via a daily update of activity across the country. For each member of the Canadian Association of Oilwell Drilling Contractors (CAODC), the Rig Location Data lists all drilling rigs and shows where the rig is located, who the operator is, the type of well bore being drilled and more.
