In another example, a first transmitter is disposed in a first wellbore, a first receiver is disposed in a second wellbore, and either a second transmitter or a second receiver is disposed in either the first wellbore or the second wellbore. By implementing partial compensation techniques, a computer system determines compensated signals. Using the compensated signals, the computer system determines a position of a first wellbore relative to a second wellbore, and provides the position.
