Abstract:
The fracturing methods described in the present disclosure provide advantage over the current fracturing methods. The disclosed fracturing methods can change the fracture gradient of the downhole subterranean formation. For example, one or more of the fracture gradients of the low and high stress zones of the downhole subterranean formation can be changed. Furthermore, the methods of present disclosure, in relation to current practices, can decrease the extent and/or degree of fracturing within low stress downhole formations and increase the degree of fracturing within high stress formations.

Claim (Index 8):
The method of method of  claim 1 , wherein during the injecting of the gas into the wellbore, the gas is in the form of one or more of gas phase, liquid phase, foam, or combination thereof, and further comprising:\n maintaining a dwell period between the injecting of the gas into the one or more portions of the subterranean formation and the injecting of fracturing liquid into the target portion of the subterranean formation, wherein the dwell period comprises one of less than one hour, less than 24 hours, and more than 24 hours, wherein the gas is in the form of a foam, and wherein one of the following is true: (i) the foam comprises more gas by volume than liquid by volume; and (ii) the foam comprises less gas by volume than liquid by volume.
