Abstract

A system for and methods of producing hydrocarbons from a formation. A method may include drilling a wellbore (57) in a formation, forming a first fracture (52) in the formation that emanates from the wellbore (57), forming a second fracture (53) in the formation that emanates from the wellbore (57) and is approximately parallel to the first fracture (52), and simultaneously (a) injecting a fluid (54) from an injection tubing string in communication with the second fracture (53) and (b) producing hydrocarbons (55) that travel from the first fracture (52) into a production tubing string that is substantially parallel to the injection tubing string. The wellbore (57) may be substantially horizontal. The fluid (54) may increase pressure in an area of the formation adjacent to the first fracture (52).
