Increasing production from water wells

Abstract

A method of increasing production from at least one target wellbore can include drilling at least one offset wellbore having at least one horizontal portion in at least one aquifer, and intersecting the target wellbore with the offset wellbore. A water well system for improved production from at least one target wellbore can include at least one offset wellbore, the offset wellbore including at least one horizontal portion positioned in at least one aquifer, and at least one intersection between the offset wellbore and the target wellbore. Ranging equipment in the target and/or offset wellbore may be used to steer a coiled tubing drilling BHA in the offset wellbore toward the target wellbore.
