A method for determining the distance and direction from a first borehole to a second borehole includes generating, by way of a rotating magnetic field source at a first location in a second borehole, and elliptically polarized magnetic field in the region of the first borehole. First and second sensors positioned at an observation point in the first borehole measure the amplitude and relative phase of respective first and second components of the polarized magnetic field and from these measurements, the direction, relative to the sensors, from the observation point to the first location is determined. The distance between these points is determined by measuring at plural observation points amplitude variations with depth of the rotating magnetic field in the first borehole, and computing theoretical variations in the amplitude for different assumed distances between the observation points and the location of the magnetic field source. The measured amplitude variations are compared with theoretical variations to determine the distance between the first and second boreholes.
