Method of producing a fluid from an earth formation.

摘要

A method of producing a fluid from an earth formation comprising a first fluid zone, a second fluid zone extending at a horizontal distance from the first fluid zone and a barrier zone located between said fluid zones, is provided. The fluid is produced through a production wellbore having a fluid inlet located in the first fluid zone. The method comprises creating an inclined wellbore section being part of an auxiliary wellbore 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 fluid communication between said fluid zones, closing the auxiliary wellbore at a selected location so as to prevent flow of fluid from said fluid 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 <IMAGE>
