SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ANALYZING WELLBORE SURVEY DATA TO DETERMINE TORTUOSITY OF THE WELLBORE USING DISPLACEMENTS OF THE WELLBORE PATH FROM REFERENCE LINES

摘要

A system and method for providing information regarding the tortuosity of a wellbore path is provided. The method includes receiving data from a plurality of survey stations of a wellbore survey. The method further includes defining a plurality of reference lines for the wellbore path. The method further includes determining a plurality of displacements of the wellbore path from the plurality of reference lines.
