Converting depth and length

Well depth, lateral length and pipe tallies are measured in feet in the United States and meters in most other countries. The conversion is exact: 1 foot = 0.3048 meters.

A typical Permian Basin horizontal well might be 10,000 ft (3,048 m) deep with a 10,000 ft lateral, giving a measured depth around 20,000 ft. This converter also handles inches, centimeters, kilometers, miles and yards.
