This work is novel because it combines a ground based, near-well, magnetic measurement with an airborne derived IFR-1 model. This allows for a greater reduction in positioning uncertainty than has been available in the past. The application of this method to three mile laterals is also new and has a profound impact on being able to plan optimally spaced wells and avoiding collisions.
