Multiple surface excitation method for determining a location of drilling operations to existing wells

A method for determining a position of a second production wellbore comprising:

• inducing a first current into a first conductive member with a first source;
• emitting a first magnetic field into a formation;
• inducing a second current into the first conductive member and a second conductive member at the same time with a second source by connecting the second source to both the first conductive member and the second conductive member in parallel;
• emitting a second magnetic field into the formation;
• disposing an electromagnetic sensor system into the second production wellbore, wherein the electromagnetic sensor system comprises one or more sensors;
• recording the first magnetic field with the one or more sensors from the formation;
• and
• recording the second magnetic field with the one or more sensors from the formation.

A system for determining a position of a drilling operation comprising:

• a first source, wherein the first source is attached to a first conductive member;
• a second source, wherein the second source is connected to the first conductive member and a second conductive member in parallel
• an electromagnetic sensor system comprising:
• at least one sensor;
• and
• an information handling system connected to the first source, the second source, the electromagnetic sensor system, and configured to determine the position of the drilling operation;
• and
• to excite the first conductive member and the second conductive member at the same time with the second source.
