Along-hole depth is the most fundamental subsurface measurement made in wellbores. Along-hole Depth provides background and theory, practical hints and step-by-step guide for this measurement using in oil & gas and geothermal wells. Topics include depth determination methods, wireline and driller’s depth measurements, calibration, corrections, uncertainty determination and practical steps to providing consistent and auditable along-hole measurements. It includes insights into the differences between measurements and what can be done to explain and mitigate these. It also looks at the expected impact of API RP-78. Along-hole Depth is for drillers, wireline and LWD engineers, slickline operators and mud loggers as well as geologists, reservoir engineers, geomodellers, formation evaluation specialists, mud loggers, core analysts, cased hole service providers, production specialists, well data QA-QC personnel, students: basically anyone who deals with subsurface data and services.

Wireline Depth Determination Rev 4.0 (WDDrev4.0) is the last of the publications on wireline depth determination. Finalized in 2014, it was used as the basis for Along-hole Depth that now includes a greater amount of material and updated examples. It includes the basic calculations deployed in www.wirelinedepth.com where wireline depth calculation and correction are available. For basic wireline depth determination, WDDrev4.0 can be downloaded from www.wirelinedepth.com
