GAS DIVERTER FOR WELL AND RESERVOIR STIMULATION

摘要

Implementations described and claimed herein provide a method of treating a subterranean formation penetrated by a wellbore. The method includes introducing a composition comprising a gas into fractures of the subterranean formation extending from the wellbore, followed by or simultaneously with introducing a diverting composition comprising a carrier fluid and a diverting agent into the subterranean formation under sufficient pressure to fracture a portion of the subterranean formation and release hydrocarbons from the subterranean formation, wherein the gas occupies the fractures at a sufficient pressure to cause the carrier fluid to be diverted to additional fractures of the subterranean formation defined by the portion.

1. A method of treating a subterranean formation penetrated by a wellbore, the method comprising:
a) introducing a composition comprising a gas into features of the subterranean formation extending from the wellbore, the features comprising fractures or pore volumes; b) introducing a diverting composition comprising a fluid and a diverting agent into the features of the subterranean formation extending from the wellbore; and c) introducing a carrier fluid into the subterranean formation under sufficient pressure to fracture a portion of the subterranean formation and release hydrocarbons from the subterranean formation, wherein the gas occupies the features at a sufficient pressure to cause the carrier fluid to be diverted to additional features of the subterranean formation defined by the portion, the additional features comprising additional fractures or pore volumes.
