A method of producing a fluid from an earth formation comprising a first flu id zone (21), a second fluid zone (23) extending at a horizontal distance from the first fluid zone and a barrier zone (25) locate d between said fluid zones, is provided. The fluid is produced through a production wellbore (31) having a fluid inlet located in the first fluid zone. The method comprises creating an inclined wellbore section (39) being part of an auxiliairy wellbore (35) formed in said earth formation, the inclined wellbore section extending through the first fluid zone, the barrier zone and the second fluid zone so as to provide flui d communication between said fluid zones, closing the auxiliary wellbore at a selected location so as to prevent flow of fluid from said flu id zones through the auxiliary wellbore to the earth surface, and producing fluid flowing from the second fluid zone via the inclined wellbore section into the first fluid zone and through the production wellbore.
