Abstract
Collection of hydrocarbons in a collection region that is non-contiguous to a production well is described. A path between the production well and a collection well is determined, which is not necessarily the shortest distance path. A fluid communication channel is then provided within a geological formation between the production well and collection well, along the determined path. Fluid communication is provided between the production well and the collection well without intersecting the collection well with the production well, and without otherwise drilling a hole to connect the production well and collection well.
