Abstract
A method for monitoring the rotational orientation of a downhole tool on a rotatable conduit while drilling, comprising the steps of establishing an initial rotational orientation of the downhole tool with respect to a plurality of reference points on the rotatable conduit, generating at least one reference signal each time the reference points and the rotatable conduit complete 360 degrees of rotation while drilling, generating a tool signal each time the rotatable conduit is in a defined rotational orientation with respect to the downhole tool while drilling, and measuring the angular displacement between the reference signal and the tool signal.
