  • Locating the relative trajectory of a relief well drilled to kill a blowout well
    Patent number: 4480701
    Abstract: In the drilling of a relief well to kill a blowout well, the relative trajectory of the relief well with respect to the blowout well is determined by selecting correlation points at which the relief well and the blowout well intersect the same subsurface formation. A resistivity log of the relief well indicates the correlation points with the blowout well. The location of the relative trajectories is obtained from the differences in depths of the formations and the correlation points.
