Multidrain wells allow production from different parts of a reservoir with a single well. They can be used at any stage in the life of a field. In the exploration and appraisal stages, sidetracking provides a less risky and lower cost means of delineating a field in unknown areas. … During production, multidrain systems multiply the number of wellbores and therefore increase production while reducing the development costs per barrel. 1, record 2, English, - multidrain%20well

Les puits multidrains permettent de produire plusieurs parties d’un réservoir à partir d’un puits unique. Ils trouvent des applications à tous les stades de la vie d’un gisement. Au niveau de l'exploration-délinéation, l'addition de drains à des puits existants permet d’effectuer la délinéation à moindre risque et à moindre coût dans des zones méconnues. […] Pendant la production, forer des puits multidrains permet de multiplier les points de drainage et d’augmenter la production en réduisant les coûts de développement par baril. 2, record 2, French, - puits%20multidrain

A method of draining a water-bearing soil around an excavation to reduce the pumping required within it and to strengthen the ground. A tube about 2 in. diameter is sunk by jetting into the water-bearing soil. It is fitted with a close-mesh screen at the bottom, and connected through a header pipe to a suction pump at the top. Generally, a number of wellpoints are put down and connected to one header pipe. Wellpointing is not effective in fine-grained sand. 1, record 6, English, - wellpointing
