Abstract
In selected aspects, the present invention provides methods and systems for recovering hydrocarbons from a reservoir involving gravity-dominated recovery processes, such as steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD). Aspects of the invention involve the use of multilateral wells in staged production processes, so that alternative segments of wells may be used in alternative ways during a recovery process, for example repurposing sections of an injection well as a production well at a stage in a recovery process when there is surplus injection well infrastructure in place.
