Abstract:
A method of completing a well comprising the steps of:extending a wellbore through a subterranean zone;positioning a perforable tubular member in the well bore within the subterranean zone;moving a tubular workstring structure through the wellbore in a manner positioning a predetermined longitudinal portion of the workstring structure within the tubular member;creating, while the longitudinal workstring structure portion is disposed within the tubular member, a flow passage extending between the interior of the longitudinal workstring structure portion and the interior of the subterranean zone, the flow passage being defined in part by (1) a spaced series of first perforations disposed in the longitudinal workstring structure portion, and (2) a spaced series of second perforations aligned with the first perforations and extending outwardly through the side wall of the tubular member and into the subterranean zone; andflowing a stimulating fluid through the flow passage sequentially via the interior of the tubular work string structure, the first perforations, and the second perforations.
