Methods of drilling two wells, wherein the two wells are drilled such that the toe of the lateral portion of one well is in proximity to the heel of the lateral portion of the other well. Production from the wells can be improved by a process wherein the formation about the wells is first fractured at the toe of each lateral portion, then fractured along the middle section of each lateral portion, and, lastly, at the heel section of each lateral portion of the wells.
