Wellbore trajectories are a fundamental piece of data used for decisions throughout the oilfield. Trajectories are typically mapped through measurement-while-drilling (MWD) survey stations collected at 95ft intervals.<br>Previous work suggests that this sparse sampling interval masks short segments of high curvature, negatively impacting workflows that consume this data (Stockhausen & Lesso, 2003; Baumgartner, et. al., 2019). This can<br>come in the form of poorly estimating the true vertical depth of a well, poorly mapping geologic structure, and poorly quantifying the tortuosity of the wellpath. S
