This document discusses directional drilling techniques. It contains equations for calculating the angle change between survey points based on factors like dogleg severity, inclination, toolface setting, and course length. It also contains an example problem that applies these equations to determine the new direction for a whipstock set at a certain depth with a toolface setting, over a given course length. Figures are included that illustrate directional drilling concepts on a plane.
