A system and method for steering a relief well to intersect a previously drilled wellbore. In one embodiment, a system includes a drill string disposed in the relief well and a surface processing system (138). The drill string includes a plurality of sections of wired drill pipe (16) connected end-to-end, and a bottom hole assembly (136) disposed at a downhole end of the drill string. The bottom hole assembly includes a drill bit (114), a steering tool (130) configured to direct the drill bit towards a target, and an acoustic sensing tool (132). The acoustic sensing tool includes a plurality of acoustic sensors (202A, 202B, 202C) configured to detect acoustic signals emanating from fluid (142) flow in a target wellbore. The surface processing system (138) is coupled to the uphole end of the drill string, and is configured to determine a direction to the target wellbore based on the acoustic signals detected by the acoustic sensors.
