Abstract
A method of producing fluids from a subterranean formation (10) through a single well (1) in a network of separate well-bores, comprising the steps of forming a well (1) having a horizontal section (3) located within the formation (10), completing and equipping such well (1) to produce fluids from the formation (10), producing fluids from the formation through such well (1); forming at least one additional well (2) having a horizontal section (4) located within the formation (10) such that such well (3) is in fluid communication with the first well (1), without intersecting with the horizontal section (3) of the first well (1), and using such additional well (2) as a conduit within the formation to allow and cause fluids contained in the formation which drain or flow into the horizontal section (4) of such additional well-bore, to flow to and be produced through the first well-bore (1).
