XACTSPOT MSA

XACTSPOT MSA is a multi-station analysis (MSA) program, intended to assist the user in determining whether significant systematic data errors are present which might cause inaccurate computed azimuth values. “Inaccurate” means failing to meet the expectations of the error model. The program can evaluate error sources listed in the error model, but it is particularly useful when errors exist which are larger than the expectation of the error model. Such errors that XACTSPOT resolves and corrects may include:

  • Large axial biases caused by drillstring magnetization.

  • Cross-axial magnetic biases, which may be caused by drill collar “hot spots” or magnetic junk attached to the BHA.

  • Cross-axial scale factor errors may result from magnetic particles suspended in the drilling fluid.

  • Torsion (β) refers to rotational or toolface misalignment between the accelerometers and the magnetometers.

  • Axial scale factor errors may be caused by induced magnetization, resulting from proximity of the sensor to a magnetic BHA component.

  • Reference field errors.
