Claim 13:
14. 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;
a third well that, during the hydraulic fracturing operation, receives an additional pressure response associated with the pressure wave; and
a processing system comprising a processor and a memory including computer program code executable by the processor for:
determining, simultaneously based on measured parameters of the pressure response in the second well and the additional pressure response in the third well, information associated with at least one of:
the subterranean formation, or
a fracture connected to:
the first well,
the second well, or
the third well;

and determining, 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.
