Zusammenfassung:The present disclosure provides a method for improved production of hydrocarbons along the length of a horizontal well where non-uniform fluid chambers have formed in the reservoir. The present method distributes fluid along the length of a substantially horizontal wellbore that is located within a reservoir such that different recovery processes, or distinct phases of a given recovery process, operating proximally or adjacently within that same reservoir, and in hydraulic communication with each other within that reservoir, are managed concurrently along the single wellbore.
