Claim 16:
17. A method of controlling fracture growth during multi-well stimulation treatments, the method comprising:
fracturing a first wellbore along a first stage of a multistage stimulation treatment;
obtaining downhole data of the first wellbore during stimulation of the first stage;
using the data of the first wellbore to:
generating a first fracture map of the first wellbore, the first fracture map comprising a length, height, and azimuth of one or more fractures of the first wellbore within the first stage; or
determining a volume of the fractures of the first wellbore within the first stage;

based upon the downhole data of the first wellbore, simultaneously fracturing the first wellbore and a second wellbore along the first stage of the multistage stimulation treatments;
obtaining downhole data of the second wellbore;
using the data of the second wellbore to:
generate a second fracture map of the second wellbore, the second fracture map comprising a length, height and azimuth of one or more fractures of the second wellbore within the first stage; or
determine a volume of fractures of the second wellbore within the first stage; and

based upon the first or second fracture map or fracture volume of the fractures in the first or second wellbore, adjusting at least one fracture stimulation parameter of the first or second wellbore, wherein adjusting the at least one fracture stimulation parameter of the first or second wellbore comprises:
upon determining fracture growth at a formation entry point of the fractures within the first stage of the first or second wellbores meets a threshold, partitioning in the first or second wellbore a remainder of the first stage into a plurality of treatment cycles and at least one diversion phase for diverting treatment fluid away from one or more formation entry points.
