FRACTURING PROCESS TO ENHANCE PROPPING AGENT DISTRIBUTION TO MAXIMIZE CONNECTIVITY BETWEEN THE FORMATION AND THE WELLBORE

摘要

A method of treating a subterranean formation may include placing a first treatment fluid into a subterranean formation through an access conduit connecting the subterranean formation to a wellbore at a pressure sufficient to form at least a portion of a fracture network; pumping a second treatment fluid comprising a propping agent into the fracture network such that the propping agent forms a proppant pack in at least a portion of the fracture network; placing a third treatment fluid comprising a secondary diverting agent into the fracture network so as to substantially inhibit fluid flow through at least a portion of the fracture network without substantially inhibiting fluid flow through the access conduit; and placing a fourth treatment fluid comprising a primary diverting agent into the wellbore such that the primary diverting agent substantially inhibits fluid flow through the access conduit.
