UTILIZING DIVERSE EXCITATION SOURCES IN SINGLE WELL ELECTROMAGNETIC RANGING

摘要

Systems and methods for utilizing diverse excitation sources in single well electromagnetic ranging. A method may include disposing an electromagnetic ranging tool in a wellbore, wherein the electromagnetic ranging tool may comprise one or more receivers, a coil source and an electrode source; performing a measurement with the one or more receivers of at least one component of a coil-induced magnetic field from the target wellbore to provide a coil measurement, wherein the coil-induced magnetic field may be induced by the coil source; performing a measurement with the one or more receivers of at least component of an electrode-induced electromagnetic field to provide an electrode measurement, wherein the electrode-induced electromagnetic field may be induced by the electrode source; and calculating at least one ranging parameter using, at least in part, the coil measurement and the electrode measurement.
