ABSTRACT:
Rotational orientation of a drillstring is monitored a plurality of times during each rotation of a drillstring for monitoring the rotational orientation of a curve drilling assembly on a drillstring. A defined rotational orientation of a downhole location on the drillstring with respect to the curve drilling assembly is established. At least one reference signal generator having a known relationship to the down hole location on the drillstring and that rotates with the drillstring is provided at the surface. A reference signal is generated each time a reference signal generator rotates past a detector. A pressure signal is generated each time the drillstring rotates through the defined rotational orientation with respect to the drill bit steering device. Occurrences of the plurality of surface reference signals and the pressure signal are timed and compared for monitoring the rotational orientation of the drill bit steering device.
