Borehole Geometry

Borehole Geometry is a technical construct in petroleum engineering that characterizes the three-dimensional configuration and spatial orientation of a drilled wellbore, distinguishing it from other subsurface features by its specific trajectory, curvature, and positional attributes relative to the target reservoir.
