Abstract

The accuracy of directional surveys may be improved using accelerometers, magnetometers, or both. A control system containing accelerometers is configured specifically to correct errors in bias and gain of each accelerometer by requiring the measured field strengths to be as constant as possible over several tool face angles over multiple points in a wellbore, even when all measurements are within a tangent or lateral section of a wellbore. Corrections for the bias and gain errors determined based on one or more measurements from the accelerometers are applied to measurements at other survey points to improve the accuracy of surveys and the efficiency of drilling operations.
