Claim 18:
19. An apparatus, comprising:
a first well from which a pressure wave is generated by performing a first hydraulic fracturing operation, wherein the pressure wave extends into a subterranean formation;
a second well that, during the hydraulic fracturing operation, receives a pressure response associated with the pressure wave;
and a non-transitory, tangible, computer-readable medium having instructions encoded thereon for causing a processing system having a processor and a memory to:
determine, based on measured parameters of the pressure response in the second well, information associated with at least one of:
the subterranean formation, or
a fracture connected to:
the first well, or
the second well; and

determine, based on the information derived from the measured parameters of the pressure response in the second well, a quantity of diversion materials for a second hydraulic fracturing operation that minimizes a respective pressure response associated with an additional pressure wave that would be generated by the second hydraulic fracturing operation in the first well;
wherein the measured parameters of the pressure response include a delay in an arrival time of the pressure wave at the second well, an amplitude of the pressure wave at the second well, and a period of the pressure wave at the second well.
