Homework_2: Well Coordinates and Directions

Solution:

Firstly, convert from DMS system to decimal system

= 𝑆⁡45.5°⁡𝐸

Since it is in south and east directions so it is in the second quadrant

So the Azimuth can be found as following:

𝐴𝑍𝑀 = 180 − 45.5

𝐴𝑍𝑀 = 134.4°

The correct answer is:

 Homework_3:
Q_1:

A Convert the directions below to either azimuth or quadrant, depending on

what is given. Then apply an MDC of 3°E and 5°W

Solution:
N Conversion 𝑴𝑫𝑪 = 𝟑°𝑬 𝑴𝑫𝑪 = 𝟓°𝑬

4 𝟏𝟖𝟐° S2W S1E1 S7W7

Explanation:

182° − 180 = 𝑆⁡2⁡𝑊

When moving 3° East it will be in second quadrant (S 1 E).

When moving 5° west it will be 2° + 5° = 𝑆⁡7°⁡

Q_1: B
Convert the following Latitude / Longitude values to DMS (Degrees
Minutes Seconds) or Decimal

Q_2:
Use the figures to find MDC & GC below:

Solution:

MDC =2°⁡𝑊𝑒𝑠𝑡

GC = 6°⁡𝑊𝑒𝑠𝑡

Explanation:

MDC: Magnetic Declination is the angle between True north and Magnetic
north and it’s direction from True north to Magnetic north.

GC: Grid Convergence is the angle between True north and Grid north and it’s
direction from True north to Grid north.

Calculated the bit depth and survey depth for 5 stands using a directional
offset of 47.53’

Solution:

Explanation for point 4:

𝑛𝑒𝑤⁡𝑏𝑖𝑡⁡𝑑𝑒𝑝𝑡ℎ = 𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑣𝑖𝑜𝑢𝑠⁡𝑏𝑖𝑡⁡𝑑𝑒𝑝𝑡ℎ + 𝑝𝑖𝑝𝑒⁡𝑙𝑒𝑛𝑔𝑡ℎ
