deploying a production pipe to a wellbore within the rock formation for flowing formation fluid through the production pipe to a surface of the rock formation, wherein a seat is attached to an inner surface of the production pipe;
cementing the production pipe to the wellbore with cement to isolate a first section of the wellbore from a second section of the wellbore along an outer surface of the production pipe, wherein the second section is located above the first section;
deploying a perforation tool to the production pipe along the first section of the wellbore;
activating the perforation tool to form access ports along the first section of the wellbore that fluidly connect the production pipe to the wellbore;
delivering treatment fluid from the production pipe to the wellbore through the access ports;
flowing formation fluid from the rock formation into the production pipe through the access ports; and
closing an opening in the seat to isolate the first section of the wellbore from the second section of the wellbore.
