Increased numbers of conditionally horizontal trunks may reduce production efficiency due to interference.
Hydrodynamic modeling shows that the configuration and trajectory of horizontal trunks are critical.
Geological limitations, like layer thickness and saturation, influence the productivity of multilateral wells.
Thermal development methods are commonly used in exploiting extra viscous oil deposits in terrigenous reservoirs.
