Zusammenfassung:Methods of stimulating and producing multiple stratified hydrocarbon reservoirs having numerous separate reservoir compartments are provided. The methods basically comprise the steps of drilling a first well bore into a lower part of the reservoir having a horizontal portion which intersects a previously drilled second well bore therein. At least one fracture is formed extending into two or more reservoir compartments from the horizontal portion of the third well bore for conducted hydrocarbons in the reservoir into the horizontal portion of the first well bore from where the hydrocarbons flow into the second well bore and are withdrawn.
