Yes.  It's becoming more common in some CV/LCV units.  The mixing of vertical and horizontal completions isn't done in unconventional reservoirs (Haynesville Shale) but it may be done in some conventional reservoirs.  I think you will see smaller E&P companies with legacy leasehold experiment with horizontals in conventional reservoirs wherever the formation is sufficiently "tight".  Those tight areas will likely be geographically limited.

Look at the plat and notice how many historic vertical CV wells are in each section.  20 in S35.  35 in S34.  The CV is pretty tight where you see wells spaced so closely.

there are hundreds of CV H within vertical units CV units in east texas especially Rusk and Panola county. They get a map of fac drainage when they fac their vertical wells so if spacing of undrained area line up they will drill a H well in unit. Especially in the tight Taylor sands of lower CV
