True vertical depth |
||||||||||||||
|
The vertical distance from a point on the well (usually the current or final depth) to a point at the surface, usually measured from RKB. Note that a measured depth, due to the wellbore curvature, is always greater than the corresponding true vertical depth. It is commonly referred as TVD. |
