It is the most common method of reference for locations in the well, and therefore, in oil industry speech, "depth" also refers to the location itself. Strictly, depth is a vertical coordinate. .
Although it is an intuitive concept, depth in a well is the source of much confusion because it is frequently not specified correctly. Absolute depth should always be specified with three components:• a. .
Specification of an absolute depth: in Figure 1 above, point P1 might be at 3207 mMDRT and 2370 mTVDMSL, while point P2 might be at 2530 mMDRT and 2502 mTVDLAT.. .
