Abstract:
1. A process for increasing production of a well, the well including a primary well having a primary wellbore and a primary production zone, the process comprising the steps of: drilling a secondary well with a secondary wellbore such that the secondary wellbore intersects the primary wellbore to create an intersection, the intersection being situated relatively near to the primary production zone, wherein the primary well is defined by a length in excess of one kilometer in length and wherein the primary well is a horizontal well; and introducing a treatment fluid into the primary or secondary well such that increased production is stimulated from the production zone of the primary well; wherein the treatment fluid is introduced into the primary or secondary well through the use of a high pressure pump; and wherein the high pressure pump is used to move the treatment fluid such that the treatment fluid does not pass through a coil tubing unit.
