A method includes drilling a first, non-vertical wellbore in a first direction. The first wellbore includes a first heel section residing at a first production zone of a subterranean formation and a first toe section downhole of the first heel section and residing at a second production zone of the subterranean formation. The first wellbore defines a first central axis defining a first plane. The method also includes drilling a second, non-vertical wellbore in a second direction opposite the first direction. The second wellbore defines a second central axis defining a second plane substantially parallel to the first plane. The second wellbore includes a second heel section residing at a third production zone opposite the first production zone and a second toe section downhole of the second heel section and residing at a fourth production zone opposite the second production zone to help prevent pressure interference between the wellbores.
