Ap1.3.5 Relative Contribution of the Various Error Terms For the ISCWSA#1 test well (typical North Sea Extended reach well), the plots below show the relative contribution of the various error sources to the overall ellipse dimensions. The values below have been calculated based upon revision 2 of the MWD model. All the values here are quoted in Earth referenced (NEV) frame and it must be remembered that being independent the terms are summed by the RSS method.
