Abstract
A downhole drilling system for drilling a wellbore through a subterranean formation and a method of obtaining data from a downhole location. A bottom hole assembly (BHA) is locatable in the wellbore. A gravity sensor is operable to measure the Earth's gravity local to the BHA in three gravity vector coordinates. A magnetic sensor is operable to measure a magnetic field local to the BHA in three magnetic vector coordinates. A downhole processor is locatable in the borehole and operable to, if the gravity or magnetic measurements are not taken at a selected orientation of the BHA, process the measurements downhole by rotating the measured gravity and the measured magnetic field around the z-axis to align a gravity vector or a magnetic vector with the selected orientation of the BHA.
