Zusammenfassung:	A field development system and associated methods provide for cost effective development of a field by minimizing the number of required production facilities and preventing damage to wellbores due to drilling lateral wellbores therefrom. In a described embodiment, a field development system includes a main wellbore intersecting a formation and having fractures extending outwardly into the formation. Multiple additional wellbores intersect the fractures to thereby improve drainage of the formation without the need of drilling lateral wellbores from the main wellbore and without the need of providing additional producti on facilities for the additional wellbores.
