Abstract
When surveying a borehole using an instrument responsive to the earth's magnetic field, the assumption is made that the error vector which comprises the difference between the true earth's magnetic field and the measured magnetic field in the borehole is in the direction of the borehole axis. The magnitude of this error vector is determined and used to correct the magnetically measured azimuth.
