Abstract
A wellbore system and method for making viable the exploitation of oil deposits considered unviable, utilizing equipment available at the wells, wherein two wells, drilled in neighboring deposits, are connected by mechanical and hydraulic interconnection. The two wells include a first well (target well) in active production, fully equipped, and processing its production in a stationary production unit (SPU), and a second well, which is considered unviable. The second well initially appears as a pilot hole, can be used to map the reservoir of the deposit where it is located, and after the mapping procedure, its base can be cemented and abandoned. The pilot hole becomes the point of origin for drilling a horizontal lateral well in the direction of the first well, which becomes the target of the drilling and a recipient of production arising from the neighboring deposit where the second well is located.
