Claim:
1. A method for completing a well in a reservoir, comprising: injecting a stimulation fluid to stimulate a first interval in the reservoir, wherein the stimulation fluid is at a pressure sufficient to open a plurality of check valves in the first interval, allowing stimulation fluid to flow into the first interval; dropping a plurality of ball sealers into the well to stop a flow of the stimulation fluid into the first interval and begin treatment of a second interval, wherein the ball sealers are configured to block flow through the plurality of check valves in the first interval; injecting the stimulation fluid to stimulate a subsequent interval in the reservoir, wherein the stimulation fluid is at a pressure sufficient to open a plurality of check valves in the subsequent interval, allowing stimulation fluid to flow into the subsequent interval; and repeating the dropping of ball sealers until all intervals are treated.
