Patent ID: 8893787

Claim:
A method of selectively stimulating a subterranean formation, the method comprising the steps of: positioning a casing string in a wellbore intersecting the formation, the casing string including multiple spaced apart valves operable to selectively permit and prevent fluid flow between an interior and an exterior of the casing string, the valves being operable via at least one line connected to the valves; for each of multiple sets of one or more intervals of the formation in sequence, stimulating the interval set by opening a corresponding one of the valves, closing the remainder of the valves, and flowing a stimulation fluid from the interior of the casing string and into the interval set; and for each of the interval sets in sequence, testing the interval set by opening the corresponding one of the valves, closing the remainder of the valves, and flowing a formation fluid from the interval set and into the interior of the casing string.
