Abstract

1,103,529. Sound locating. J. K. HENDERSON. 13 Sept., 1966 [23 Oct., 1965], No. 40814/66. Heading H4D. [Also in Division E1] A method of directing the drilling of a relief well to intersect an adjacent wild well which is uncontrollably producing fluids, comprises detecting the sonic vibrations emanating from the wild well with a receiver and orienting the drilling of the relief well in response to the detected direction of the vibrations. The receiver may be carried adjacent the drill bit, or lowered into the drill pipe from time to time. The signal from the receiver is passed to a control panel on the surface for interpretation to enable the operators to adjust the direction as necessary using, e.g. whipstocks and a flexible drill pipe section. More than one receiver may be used at spaced points to permit triangulation The term sonic is used to cover detectable signals in general.
