Abstract:
Enhanced oil recovery is practiced in long lateral wellbores by drilling at least one of a sidetrack lateral wellbore end a branch lateral wellbore from the main lateral wellbore. After production of the sidetrack lateral wellbore or the branch lateral wellbore, EOR flood fluid is pumped info the at least one of the sidetrack lateral wellbore and the branch lateral wellbore and recovered hydrocarbons and EOR flood fluid are produced from the main lateral wellbore, or vice versa.
