Claim 18:
19. The system of claim 14, wherein the plurality of selectively opening sleeves comprise:
a first selectively opening sleeve of said plurality of selectively opening sleeves, wherein said first selectively opening sleeve is at a first location which is a first distance from a toe of said injection wellbore; and
a second selectively opening sleeve of said plurality of selectively opening sleeves, wherein said second selectively opening sleeve is at a second location which is a second distance from said toe of said injection wellbore, wherein said second distance is greater than said first distance;
wherein the first selectively opening sleeve has a first open position to permit a first amount of fracturing fluid to flow into a first fracture network associated with the first selectively opening sleeve,
wherein the second selectively opening sleeve is configured to be blocked to isolate the first selectively opening sleeve within said injection wellbore,
wherein the second selectively opening sleeve has a second open position to permit a second amount of fracturing fluid to flow into a second fracture network associated with the second selectively opening sleeve such that said at least one producing wellbore is capable of producing said first amount of fracturing fluid to reduce pressure in the subterranean formation while said second amount of fracturing fluid is being pumped out of an opening of said second selectively opening sleeve and into the subterranean formation.
