English term or phrase: infill well
definition: an infill well is a well drilled on an irregular pattern disregarding normal target and spacing requirements. Infill wells are designed to increase natural gas recovery in areas where imposition of normal well spacing requirements would cause available natural gas resources to be unrecoverable.

extra put
Explanation:
Elsevier's Oilfield Dictionary (1965!) gives 'infilling drilling' - 'tussengelegen locaties boren' and 'infilling well' - 'tussenput'. To be honest, I don't think tussenput is used at all (maybe it was in 1965).

NAM refers to 'extra put' in this document here, which from the context sounds very much like an infill well. A quick ask around among colleagues also suggests that 'extra put' (extra geboorde put, extra toegevoegde put) is acceptable.

-> "Daarnaast zal in de toekomst misschien een nieuwe put worden geboord vanaf de locatie Westbeemster naar het gasveld Rustenburg, en mogelijk ook een extra put in het Westbeemster-veld. Daartoe zal dan tijdelijk een boortoren op de locatie worden geplaatst. Na het boren van de put, hetgeen doorgaans circa 2 à 3 maanden duurt, gaat de boortoren weer weg. Ook in het Middelie-veld wordt in de toekomst wellicht nog een extra put geboord."
