Tangential Method Calculation
by [Link] on August 22, 2010
The tangential method is the simplest calculation among other directional survey calculations.
The tangential method formulas are listed below;
Tangential Method Calculation
formula
Where;
MD = Measured Depth between surveys in ft
I1 = Inclination (angle) of upper survey in degrees
I2 = Inclination (angle) of lower in degrees
Az1= Azimuth direction of upper survey
Az2 = Azimuth direction of lower survey

The following example is the Tangential Method Calculation.
Survey 1
Depth = 3500 ft
Inclination = 15 degree (I1)
Azimuth = 20 degree (Az1)
Survey 2
Depth = 3600 ft
Inclination = 25 degree (I2)
Azimuth = 45 degree (Az2)
Solution:
MD = 3600 3500 = 100 ft
As per the formulas above, you will get answers as listed below;
North = 29.88 ft
East = 29.88 ft
TVD = 90.63 ft

There are several methods that can be used to calculate the survey data, of these some are accurate
while are other may produce some error for a given situation.
Some of the most common methods used for survey calculation in the industry are:
Tangential method (Least Accurate)
Balanced Tangential method
Average Angle method
Radius of Curvature method (Most Accurate)
Minimum Curvature method (Most Accurate)
Youve done a fine job, I thank you for sharing your knowledge.
