Abstract

L'invention concerne un système destiné à accéder à une zone souterraine à partir de la surface, comprenant un premier, un deuxième et un troisième puits de forage d'entrée s'étendant à partir de la surface, le premier, le second et le troisième puits de forage d'entrée étant situés, à la surface, sur la même plate-forme de forage. Un puits de forage incliné s'étend à partir de chaque puits de forage d'entrée vers la zone souterraine. Un motif de drainage sensiblement horizontal s'étend à partir des puits de forage incliné dans la zone souterraine.
