`
`inclination
`
`1. n . [Drilling]
`
`Español | English
`
`The deviation from vertical, irrespective of compass direction, expressed in degrees. Inclination is measured initially with a
`pendulum mechanism, and confirmed with MWD accelerometers or gyroscopes. For most vertical wellbores, inclination is the
`only measurement of the path of the wellbore. For intentionally deviated wellbores, or wells close to legal boundaries, directional
`information is usually also measured.
