USING HYBRID PROPULSION AUTONOMOUS MARINE VEHICLES TO BETTER CHARACTERIZE GEOMAGNETIC FIELDS OFFSHORE
Presents a study conducted to develop and validate new capabilities for offshore geomagnetic surveying that employs the autonomous marine vehicle (AMV) to map the crustal magnetic field and monitor disturbance fields surrounding offshore drill sites. Knowledge of geomagnetic field direction and strength in the wellbore are essential parameters needed for directional drilling. To compute wellbore azimuth, the directional driller compares the magnetic field measurement provided by the...
