8.6. Plan a directional program using a build, hold, and drop trajectory

8.6. Plan a directional program using a build, hold, and drop trajectory path for which the kick-off depth is 3,100 ft and the maximum required departure is 2,100 ft. Rate of build should be 2/100 ft, and the rate of drop should be 2/100 ft. (1) If the TVD is 10,200 ft where the hole returns to vertical, what is the maximum inclination reached? (2) How much casing will you have to purchase for a well with a TVD bottomhole target of 10,200 ft? (3) How long is the hold section? (4) If the drilling plan calls for an intermediate string to be run to a TVD of 8,210 ft, how much casing is needed, and what is the horizon- tal departure at the casing shoe?
