Borehole torsion - Cylindrical helical method

Input(s)

kh\mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{h}}: Horizontal Curvature (degree/100ft)

kv\mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{v}}: Vertical Curvature (degree/100ft)

k\mathrm{k}: Curvature of Wellbore Trajectory (degree/100ft)

a: Inclination Angle (degree)

Output(s)

t: Borehole Torsion-Cylindrical Helical Method (degree/100ft)

Formula(s)

t=kh(1+(2(kv)2k2))sin(a)cos(a)\mathrm{t}=\mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{h}} *\left(1+\left(2 * \frac{\left(\mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{v}}\right)^{2}}{\mathrm{k}^{2}}\right)\right) * \sin (\mathrm{a}) * \cos (\mathrm{a})
