A method of compensating measurements made by a downhole survey instrument comprises making measurements with the downhole survey instrument at a plurality of rotational positions; applying a first correction to the measurements using a thermal model to give a first set of corrected measurements; fitting a sinusoidal function of angular position to the first set of corrected measurements; fitting a polynomial function of temperature to a residual remaining after the sinusoidal fitting; and determining a corrected bias for the measurements made by the downhole gyroscope using results of the polynomial fitting.

Une méthode qui permet de compenser les mesures effectuées par un instrument de levé topographique de fond de trou comprend les opérations qui suivent. Mesures avec l'instrument de levé topographique de fond de trou, selon de multiples positions angulaires; application d'une première correction aux mesures au moyen d'un modèle thermique pour apporter une première série de mesures corrigées; correspondance d'une fonction sinusoïdale de position angulaire à la première série de mesures corrigées; correspondance d'une fonction polynomiale de température à un résultat résiduel, après la correspondance sinusoïdale; et détermination d'une erreur systématique corrigée pour la mesure réalisée avec gyroscope de fond de trou, au moyen des résultats de la correspondance polynomiale.
