This paper reports that two horizontal wells were drilled in the McKee reservoir to improve oil recovery by repressing the coning problem experienced in conventional wells. Steps taken to facilitate an optimum completion in the geologically complex reservoir included petrophysical logging to identify fractured zones, cementing the liner to provide isolation, and selective perforating. Disappointing early gas breakthrough resulted in lower-than-expected oil recoveries.
