ABSTRACT Spudding a well in deep water can be complicated as the presence of large currents may cause the bottom hole assembly (BHA) to be inclined up to ten degrees at the bit. A desirable hole inclination would be less than 0.5 degrees for setting surface casing. A method of taking Measurements While Drilling (MWD) surveys and repositioning the rig until the drill collars are vertical has been developed and tested on two wells.
