ABSTRACT:
The invention is a method of recovering hydrocarbons from an underground hydrocarbon formation which comprises drilling and completing at least three substantially parallel horizontal wells to form a substantially triangular well pattern within a hydrocarbon formation. The first well is placed relatively near the top of a hydrocarbon interval and the second and third wells are placed near the bottom of the interval on each side of the first well. A recovery fluid is injected into the formation through the second and third wells and hydrocarbons and other fluids are recovered through the first well.
