[Gmsh] Unable to create 3D mesh

Hi, I am trying to create a reservoir model with unstructured grids. The
reservoir is box shaped, with two horizontal wells on one side, and one
vertical well on the other side. The model is basically a box with three
cylinders inside.

Initially I succeeded in creating the 3D mesh. However, later I found that
the mesh from the cylinder and the box were different and intersecting with
each other. Based on the information from the web, I need to embed the
surfaces inside the volume.

After successfully embedding the surfaces, the 2D mesh looks good. There
are no longer intersecting grids However, when I try to run the 3D mesh, it
fails. I get the following error message:

Info    : Done meshing 2D (0.715054 s)

I have also attached the gmsh file.

Thank you for your help.

Kind regards,
