Detecting wellpath tortuosity variability and controlling wellbore operations

Methods and systems for determining wellpath tortuosity are disclosed. In accordance with an embodiment, a tortuosity of a borehole segment is determined and a tortuosity of a casing associated with the borehole segment is determined based, at least in part, on the tortuosity of the borehole segment...

Summary:Methods and systems for determining wellpath tortuosity are disclosed. In accordance with an embodiment, a tortuosity of a borehole segment is determined and a tortuosity of a casing associated with the borehole segment is determined based, at least in part, on the tortuosity of the borehole segment and a path conformity characteristic of the casing. A tortuosity variation factor is generated based on a value of the tortuosity of the casing relative to a value of the tortuosity of the borehole segment.
