Preferred Labelskos:prefLabel	MWD
Definitionskos:definition	Survey by a tool that enables 'measurement while drilling' (MWD), including wireline steering tools. In practice it means 'wire-less' measuring systems, e.g. systems using mud pulse or electromagnetic telemetry. The downhole probe of a MWD system typically comprises three solid state accelerometers to measure inclination and three solid state magnetometers to measure azimuth. Teledrift is an inclination-only mud pulse MWD system.
