[0125] Referring now to the drawings wherein like reference numerals designate corresponding elements throughout all the figures and referring in particular to FIG. 1. an improved method for extracting hydrocarbons according to an example embodiment of the invention includes a wellbore 1 consisting of three primary sections. As shown in steps 100, 101, 102, in FIG. 13 and in FIG. 1, a downward section 6, a lateral section 7 and an upward section 8 are drilled with conventional oilfield equipment. The downward section 6 has an entry wellhead 4 and is more or less vertically drilled depending on the nature of the recovery operations. Within the scope of this description a horizontal well or horizontal well section means a well or well section, which is substantially at or close to horizontal inclination. The horizontal or lateral section 7 is drilled in the producing oil formation 23, which is a porous medium containing oil, gas and water in the pore spaces. The upward section 8 is a...
