New innovations in drilling also include multilateral and multibranch wells. A multilateral well has more than one horizontal (or near horizontal) lateral drilled from a single site and connected to a single wellbore. A multibranch well has more then one branch drilled from a single site and connected to a single wellbore. Although not as pervasive in the offshore as in the onshore because of the necessity of pressure-sealed systems, multilateral and multibranch wells are expected to be more important factors in future offshore development. 7, record 1, English, - multibranch%20well

Horizontal drilling, with multi-leg wells and multi-fracturing techniques provides much greater access to the reservoir, and results in much better recovery rates. 8, record 1, English, - multibranch%20well

Le forage horizontal, grâce aux puits multibranches et techniques de fracturations multiples, donne un bien meilleur accès au réservoir, donc des taux de récupération très supérieurs. 4, record 1, French, - puits%20multibranche

Système [...] dans lequel la première région et la deuxième région sont situées dans des branches séparées d'un puits ramifié, le premier appareil et le deuxième appareil de régulation du débit étant situés dans une partie du puits dans laquelle les branches se raccordent. 2, record 1, French, - puits%20multibranche

La technologie des forages horizontaux a progressé à un tel point que des puits producteurs simples à déport long et même des puits multibranches ou à complétions multiples peuvent être forés et exploités avec succès [...] En guise d'exemple, des puits composés de sept branches s'étendant sur une distance de 15 kilomètres sont forés à partir du même sondage. 5, record 1, French, - puits%20multibranche
