A Comprehensive Review of Fishbone Well Applications in Conventional and Renewable Energy Systems in the Path towards Net Zero

Fishbone drilling (FbD) involves multiple micro-holes branching out in various directions from the primary vertical or deviated wellbore. FbD is similar to multilateral micro-hole and can be employed boost hydrocarbon production naturally fractured formations during refracturing operations by connecting existing natural fractures. Key design elements fishbones include determining number, length, spacing between branches, angle at which branches deviate main borehole. wells have emerged as a promising technology for improving well performance reducing environmental impact. In this paper, we present comprehensive review of different applications fishbone conventional renewable energy systems. We discuss potential enhanced oil gas recovery, their application unconventional resources such coal bed methane. Moreover, examine feasibility systems, geothermal carbon capture, utilization, storage (CCUS). highlight benefits wells, including reduced footprint, efficiency, increased sustainability. Finally, challenges limitations associated with This provides overview footprint wide range
