(25 Points)

A slant hole is to have a target depth of 5374 ft from mean sea level with 2147 ft south coordinate

and 3226 ft east coordinate. The rotary bushing elevation is 780 ft from mean sea level. The

magnetic declination is 6° east, KOP is 1510 ft and BUR is 20/100 ft. Find:

1. Target closure and azimuth

2. Maximum inclination angle

3. MD, TVD, and departure at EOB

4. MD, TVD, and departure at target

5. MD, TVD, and departure at 3000 ft

6. MD, TVD, and departure at 5426 ft
