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, and wherein the stimulation fluid from at least one check valve flows into the first interval through a plurality of openings in a distribution chamber; 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, wherein the stimulation fluid from at least one check valve flows into the second interval through a plurality of openings in a distribution chamber; 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 wherein the stimulation fluid from at least one check valve flows into the subsequent interval through a plurality of openings in a distribution chamber; and repeating the dropping of ball sealers until all intervals are treated.
