Abstract
A method of quantifying tortuosity of a wellbore includes receiving survey data for the wellbore indicating an azimuth and an inclination for the wellbore at one or more measurement depths of the wellbore. The method further includes receiving wellbore diameter data for the wellbore indicating the diameter of the wellbore at one or more measurement depths of the wellbore. The method further includes, based on the survey data and the wellbore data and for each measurement depth, selecting a reference diameter and determining a tortuosity length corresponding to a maximum length that a straight tubular having the reference diameter can extend from the measurement depth and down through the wellbore without bending.
