More Information
Summary:The present invention relates to an innovative wellbore concept, which gives experts a new alternative enabling them to analyse the economic viability of a deposit. The new structural arrangement for oil wells involves the utilisation of equipment that is already available at the wells (of dry or wet completion), and the exploitation of a remote neighbouring field by mechanical and hydraulic interconnection. The implementation method uses already known drilling tools and techniques, but renders their applicability advantageous, since it ensures production from deposits or wells that are not considered viable, by using resources that are already available and in operation.
