Abstract
A system and method are provided to detect and avoid wellbore collision. The method may include receiving, by a processor, a path of a proposed wellbore. The processor then receives a boundary surrounding the path of the proposed wellbore. The processor then generates, automatically, a list of avoidance components within the boundary using an internal database. The proposed wellbore and avoidance components in the list are then displayed by a visualization system.
