This application uses the formulas to calculate the survey parameters (diff of TVD, N/S, E/W, DLS) between two stations of the methods: 1. Tangential 2. Balanced Tangential 3. Minimum Curvature 4. Radius of Curvature 5. Angle Averaging Also available the formulas of the methods. This app was developed based in existing spreadsheets. There is no comparison with any other software. You can contribute with suggestions for improvements, reporting bugs and spreading it to your friends. Our portfolio for Directional Drilling available on the App Store: - "Directional Drilling" a complete app (building and plotting) with well planning, survey, multi-lateral, etc. - There are also stand-alone applications for Well Planning, Well Survey and Multi-Lateral Wells. - "3D Interpolation" to calculate a survey data between two stations.
