The Target MWD System
Short Collar Correction A short-collar correction algorithm (Survey Correction Programme) for solid state magnetic surveys, eliminates the need to run an extensive length of non-magnetic material to obtain a magnetic-non disturbed azimuth, by means of an axial correction. The correction program needs accurate local geomagnetic data obtained from either the British Geological Survey (BGS) model (BGGM) or from locally measured data (IFR). When correcting magnetic surveys the MWD can be run in a standard non-magnetic collar. The Bz magnetometer measuring the axial magnetic component will measure a magnetically interfered azimuth due to the steel below and above the MWD collar. SCC will correct for the axial interference using the local geomagnetic data and the two other magnetometers sensors values (Bx and By). When SCC corrections should NOT be used (NO-SCC zone) Magnetic interference programmes should not be used in high Inclination wells (from +/- 60 degrees inclination), which are drilled in an easterly or westerly direction. The azimuth uncertainties due to the SCC axial correction will become unacceptable. These uncertainties will depend on the tool attitude and hence well path and the sensor calibrations. The cut-off point to use SCC is +/- 1.5 degrees of azimuth uncertainty.
