True vertical depth definition
True vertical depth means that depth at the point of entry perpendicular to the surface as measured from the elevation of the kelly bushing on the drilling rig.
True vertical depth or "TVD" means the vertical distance
True vertical depth or "TVD" means the vertical distance from a depth in a planned or existing wellbore or well to a point at the surface. (Section 1-5 of the Act)
More Definitions of True vertical depth
True vertical depth means the vertical distance from a point in the well (usually the current or final depth) to a point at the surface. If the well is deviated, the measurement may be different from the “measured depth.”
True vertical depth means that depth at the point of entry
True vertical depth means the difference in elevation between the ground level at the surface location of the well and the deepest point in the well bore.
True vertical depth means the distance from the surface to a point in the well bore which is the deepest subsurface depth drilled. True vertical depth is measured by utilizing a straight line perpendicular to the surface.
True vertical depth or "TVD" means the vertical distance from a depth in a planned or existing wellbore or well to a point at the surface.
True vertical depth means, for any point on the wellbore of a well, the distance between the wellbore point and the point, directly above the wellbore point, that is the same elevation as the kelly bushing used in drilling the well;
True vertical depth means the distance from the deepest point in the wellbore measured vertically to a point with the same elevation as that of the surface location. (Authorized by and imple- menting K.S.A. 2012 Supp. 55-152; effective Aug. 16, 2013.)
