RIP TEST (REDUNDANT INSTRUMENT PERFORMANCE)
APPLICATION
Used primarily in post-drilling analysis, the RIP Test can provide a statistical assessment of the
expected level of agreement that should exist for overlapping MWD & Gyro surveys based on the error
models. Traditionally, in this scenario, the Gyro is accepted as the more accurate depiction of the
wellbore position. However, this is not always the case and a RIP Test can provide an independent, 3rd
party assessment of the highside and lateral angle differences between the MWD & Gyro surveys. The RIP
Test has identified errors associated with both MWD & Gyro measurements and can assist in narrowing in
on the source of the disagreement. Don’t let your survey measurements go to
waste!
