The trade name of an instrument used to determine whether or not the well bore is proceeding in a vertical orientation at any point. In most drilling operations, either government bodies or contract stipulations or both, provide a maximum deviation of the well bore from the vertical; commonly, this maximum is three degrees. When deviation is in excess of the allowable, it is necessary to modify drilling procedures to bring it back in line.

Industry:Energy
Changing the gas service to ultimate customers from a fuel other than natural gas to natural gas, including adjustment of consumers' appliances to perform satisfactorily with natural gas. Natural gas does not necessarily mean straight natural gas; stabilizing the heat content of the sendout gas by diluent gases or enriching gases is not considered to change the basic character of natural gas. For the purpose of uniform reporting, a company should be considered a natural gas company when 95 percent of the system has been converted.
