ABSTRACT:
A method for well borehole survey is set out. A sonde supports X and Y accelerometers and X and & sensors on a rate gyro having a Z axis aligned with the sonde. On a slickline, or within a drill string, the sonde is used to measure four variables, these being G.sub.x and G.sub.y, A.sub.x and A.sub.z. This enables well azimuth and inclination to determined. Measuring depth enables a survey to be made.
