Zusammenfassung:A technique facilitates enhanced hydrocarbon fluid production. A well is formed in a subterranean region by drilling a borehole, e.g. a wellbore, which has a lateral section. The lateral section may be located at least in part in a non-productive zone of the subterranean region. In cooperation with the lateral section, at least one tunnel is formed which intersects the lateral section and penetrates a productive zone containing hydrocarbon fluid. A plurality of tunnels may be formed to extend from the lateral section outwardly into the productive zone. A well stimulation, e.g. hydraulic fracturing, operation is performed through the tunnel(s) to stimulate a desired stimulation zone or zones within the productive zone.
