2. Measurement while drilling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measurement_while_drilling

   An MWD downhole tool is also "high-sided" with the bottom hole drilling assembly, enabling the wellbore to be steered in a chosen direction in 3D space known as directional drilling. Directional drillers rely on receiving accurate, quality tested data from the MWD operator to allow them to keep the well safely on the planned trajectory.

3. Logging while drilling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logging_while_drilling

   Logging while drilling (LWD) is a technique of conveying well logging tools into the well borehole downhole as part of the bottom hole assembly (BHA).. Although the terms Measurement while drilling (MWD) and LWD are related, within the context of this section, the term MWD refers to directional-drilling measurements, e.g., for decision support for the smooth operation of the drilling, while ...

4. Mud logging - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mud_logging

   Because of the lag time between drilling and the time required for the mud and cuttings to return to the surface, a modern augmentation has come into use: Measurement while drilling. The MWD technician, often a separate service company employee, logs data in a similar manner but the data is different in source and content.

5. Rotary steerable system - Wikipedia

   They are generally programmed by the measurement while drilling (MWD) engineer or directional driller who transmits commands using surface equipment (typically using either pressure fluctuations in the mud column or variations in the drill string rotation) which the tool responds to, and gradually steers into the desired direction.

7. Depth in a well - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth_in_a_well

   Well depth values taken during the drilling operation are referred to as "driller's depth". The "total depth" for the well, core depths and all analysis of core / mud and other materials from the drilling hole are measured in "drillers depth". Well depth values from the wireline loggers operation are referred to as "logger's depth". The loggers ...
