Abstract

La présente invention concerne des systèmes de puits de forage à ramifications multiples ainsi que des procédés de formation et d'utilisation de ces puits. Un puits de forage d'accès est formé sensiblement dans une formation non destinée à la production. A partir du puits de forage d'accès, on fore un ou plusieurs puits de forage ramifiés dans des formations de production et dans des formations non destinées à la production. On peut former davantage de puits de forage ramifiés à partir du puits de forage d'accès ou des puits de forages ramifiés. Des obturateurs entre le puits de forage d'accès et les puits de forage de production sont formés à l'extérieur des formations renfermant des hydrocarbures. Des dispositifs de commande de flux ainsi que d'autres dispositifs sont installés à l'extérieur du puits de forage d'accès, utilisant ainsi ce dernier essentiellement pour transporter des fluides pendant la production d'hydrocarbures. La distance entre le puits de forage d'accès et n'importe quelle autre formation voulue, telles que les formations de production, est déterminée pendant le forage du puits de forage d'accès, de préférence à l'aide de capteurs acoustiques déployés dans un ensemble de forage. La distance entre le puits de forage d'accès et les diverses formations est utilisée pour ajuster la voie de forage de l'accès. Les puits de forage ramifiés peuvent être utilisés afin de stocker du matériel, de prendre en charge et/ou de traiter des fluides, de comprimer du gaz et de rediriger du gaz et de l'eau vers le fond du puits afin d'améliorer la production d'hydrocarbures.
