Meaning

What this document usually means

Directional and inclination survey documents are important because surface location alone does not explain where the wellbore travels underground. For horizontal wells, these documents can be especially useful when combined with permit, completion, and map data.

Future Wells Texas groups W-12 and directional-survey documents into directional survey activity and links them to the well timeline where possible.
