Abstract

A method and steering assembly are provided of drilling a borehole in an earth formation using a drill string (6) including a control system (24) for controlling the borehole trajectory The control system (24) is operable to receive a selected signal, to determine the borehole depth from at least one length increment (12) and the number of times the selected signal is received, and to use the borehole depth as input parameter for controlling the borehole trajectory in correspondence with a desired borehole trajectory The method comprises a) operating the drill string (6) to drill the borehole thereby lowering the drill string into the borehole, b) for each length increment (12) that the drill string is lowered into the borehole in step (a), transmitting the selected signal to the control system (24), d) inducing the control system to determine the borehole depth from said at least one length increment (12) and the number of times the selected signal is received by the control system, and e) operating the control system (24) to use the borehole depth as input parameter for controlling the borehole trajectory in correspondence with the desired borehole trajectory.
