In perfectly vertical wells, the TVD equals the MD; otherwise, the TVD is less than the MD measured from the same datum. Common datums used are ground level (GL), drilling rig floor (DF), rotary table (RT), kelly bushing (KB) and mean sea level (MSL).

How do you convert measured depth to true vertical depth?

To convert measured depth to true vertical depth, first write down the measured depth. You will have to map an X, Y, Z point from that calculation, as well as using the azimuth and inclination.


What does depth mean in measurements?

It is usually a linear measure in the vertical direction, measured downwards. If measured upwards, the same measure could be called a height.


What is vertical erosion?

Vertical erosion is when the depth of the river is greater than the width causing erosion to take place on the bed of the river. This is also when lots of water enters the river but not as much is exiting it.
