Abstract

A method creates a fluid communication path between a first production well and a second production well. At least one hydraulic fracture intersects the first production well and is separated from the second production well by a wall thereof. The method includes identifying, from the second production well, a location of the hydraulic fracture of the first production well, and perforating the wall of the second production well at the identified location. The perforating creates the fluid communication path between the production wells. Injection of fracking fluid and proppant at the first production well allows for additional fluids to be extracted from the second production well, thus generating a flow between the two production wells through the hydraulic fracture.
