Rashi on Genesis
ופרינו בארץ WE SHALL BE FRUITFUL IN THE LAND — as the Targum translates it וניפוש and we shall increase in the land).

Rashbam on Genesis
ולא רבו עליה, seeing this well was quite a distance from the region where they grazed their livestock, as we know from ויעתק משם, he moved away from there.

Radak on Genesis
ויעתק, he removed his digging tools from the immediate neighbourhood so that the shepherds of Gerar should not be able to claim future discoveries of water as belonging to them. It was clear beyond doubt that the area where Yitzchok’s servants dug now belonged to the region of Beer Sheva. This is why he called this well רחובות, to inform subsequent generations that the ownership of this well had never been disputed.

Malbim on Genesis
He moved from there: Therefore he moved his cattle from that place after seeing that they (the herdsmen from Gerar) continued to strive with him. And it is honorable for a person to dwell without strife. He distanced himself far from them, and there the quarrel ceased.

Siftei Chakhamim
As Onkelos translates it: “And we will increase in the land.” The word ופרינו cannot be past tense, because Yitzchok said: “For now, Adonoy has made room for us.” How could he then say they were already fruitful in the land? Perforce, it is future tense. Thus Rashi disagrees with our version of Onkelos which says ויפשיננא, past tense, and explains that the text of Onkelos should read: וניפוש.
