A method of drilling and producing a well having an oil bearing zone overlying a water bearing zone, comprising: drilling a main bore with an uncased, open hole inclined section inclining downward toward the oil bearing zone; whereby the inclined section having a lower end above the oil bearing zone; drilling a plurality of uncased, open hole laterals, including first and second laterals (25, 29) from the inclined section, each extending downward from a junction with the inclined section into the oil bearing zone and each having a lower end (27, 31) in the oil bearing zone above the water bearing zone, the junction of the laterals (25,29) with the inclined section being at different depths; the lower end of the first lateral being at a greater depth than the lower end of the second lateral; installing a first inflow control device in the first lateral, the first inflow control device comprising a valve, and where installing the first inflow control device includes sealing the first inflow control device to a sidewall of the open hole, uncased first lateral; installing a second inflow control device in the second lateral, the second inflow control device comprising a valve, and where installing the second inflow control device includes sealing the second inflow control device to a sidewall of the open hole, uncased second lateral; flowing well fluid from the oil bearing zone into the open hole, cased laterals (25, 29) and from the laterals into the open hole, uncased inclined section of the main bore; where positioning the lower end of the inclined section above the oil bearing zone results in all of the well fluid flowing into the inclined section to be coming from the plurality of laterals (25, 29); in response to a water content of the well fluid flowing up the main bore increasing due to water from the water bearing zone encroaching into the oil bearing zone, restricting at least a portion of the flow from the first lateral into the inclined section; where selectively restricting the flow from the first lateral into the inclined section comprises actuating the valve in the first inflow control device; then, in response to subsequent water content of the well fluid flowing up the main bore increasing due to water from the water bearing zone continuing to encroach into the oil bearing zone, restricting at least a portion of the flow from the second lateral into the inclined section relative to the flow from other of the laterals; and where restricting the flow from the second lateral into the inclined section comprises actuating the valve in the second inflow control device. drilling a main bore with an uncased, open hole inclined section inclining downward toward the oil bearing zone;
