A system can include a tubular string with a drilling bottom hole assembly connected at a distal end of a coiled tubing including a communication line permitting communication between surface instrumentation and the drilling bottom hole assembly, and the drilling bottom hole assembly including an orienter and ranging equipment. The tubular string is positioned in an intercept wellbore which intersects a target wellbore downhole of an obstruction that prevents access to the target wellbore downhole of the obstruction. A method can include drilling an intercept wellbore outward from an original wellbore, after an obstruction is introduced between the original wellbore and a target wellbore, and intersecting the target wellbore with the intercept wellbore, so that fluid communication is provided between the intercept and target wellbores.
A system for use with a subterranean well, the system comprising:
A method of obtaining access to a target wellbore downhole of an obstruction, the method comprising:
