Figure 6.2 Multilateral well construction.
An example of possible multilateral well arrangement is presented on Fig. 6.2.
The vertical well is combined with an inclined well and two horizontal wells. This
construction allows to drain multiple oil reservoirs from a single surface pad. The
combination of wells can be infinite and careful assessment of all available data
and production modeling is needed for production optimization.
