The disclosure is directed to a method and system to provide electrical current to a downhole tool, such as an active magnetic ranging tool. The electrical current can be transmitted through a drill string, with an end attached drilling assembly inserted into a wellbore. The downhole tool can include a power isolation sub to create an isolated electrical zone along the drill string. The downhole tool can transmit an electrical current along a designated portion of a subterranean formation to create a resultant magnetic field to be detected by the active magnetic ranging tool or other downhole tools. A drilling wellbore can maintain drilling operations while actively ranging a target well for intercept and other operations. The drilling assembly does not need to be removed from the wellbore to enable the activities of the active magnetic ranging tool, and access to the target wellbore is not needed.

A method and system for ranging between two cased wellbores. A method may comprise disposing a first downhole tool on a first conveyance line in a first cased wellbore, disposing a second downhole tool on a second conveyance line in a second cased wellbore, broadcasting an electromagnetic field from the transmitter, recording the electromagnetic field with the receiver, transmitting the recording to an information handling system, and calculating relative position between the first cased wellbore and the second cased wellbore with the information handling system. An electromagnetic ranging system for ranging between two cased wellbores may comprise a first downhole tool, a first conveyance line, a second downhole tool, a second conveyance line, and an information handling system configured for exciting the transmitter.
