My wife and I received an application for Wellbore Commingling of fluids from an oil exploration company. We already have a well and are unsure of what this means? Are they going to drill a new well or drill farther down the existing one? Anyone’s thoughts would be appreciated!
You can produce two different reservoirs from one well either by having a separate set of tubing for each reservoir or by just letting both reservoirs flow into the well bore and then to the surface.
It sounds like they are going to try to produce from a separate reservoir. Assuming you have an interest in both reservoirs then it is probably a ok.
You really should contact the company and ask for an explanation. They should be happy to provide one.
The sites below may be of some help.
