I am trying to find out a method of determining the area below a curve.
The end points of the curve are known in cartesian space, and the curvature of the curve is known.
A diagram of the curve is here, shown in the images belowthis webpage
ß must be in radians
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
RF = Ratio Factor
ß is the dog leg angle.
I'm trying to find the area between the curve and a line projected downwards onto the bottom plane.
I have a wellbore trajectory which gives x,y,z, coordinates (northing,easting,vertical depth)and the angle DL, and I am trying to find the net area above and below a certain depth plane by using the wells directional survey.
Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks!
