Claim 9:
10. A method for inter-fracture flooding of a wellbore, the method comprising:
disposing a tubular having a passageway into the wellbore, the tubular coupled to one or more first valves and one or more second valves;
increasing pressure within the passageway such that, responsive to the increasing pressure, the first valve(s) open and fluid flows from the passageway, through the first valve(s), and into one or more first fractures of the wellbore; and
reducing pressure within the passageway such that, responsive to the reducing pressure:
the first valve(s) close; and
the second valve(s) open and hydrocarbons flow from one or more second fractures of the wellbore, through the second valve(s), and into the passageway,

wherein one or more packers are coupled to the tubular; and
wherein, for each of the second valve(s), at least one of the packer(s) is disposed between the second valve and a closest valve that opened to allow fluid flow into the first fracture(s) of the wellbore along the tubular during the increasing pressure within the passageway.
