Abstract:
Low profile diverters for, and the use of such diverters in, fracing operations to stimulate production of oil and gas are capable of seating against and temporarily sealing perforations, even when frac fluid is being pumped at high rates and pressures, or in horizontal or highly deviated well bores, where conventional ball sealers cannot be reliably used because of high flow rates and pressures.

Claim (Index 18):
A diverter for obstructing and temporarily sealing at least a portion of a perforation of a predetermined size or smaller in casing of a well bore in a subterranean formation during hydraulic fracturing, the diverter comprising an impermeable body having a cross-sectional maximum thickness that is substantially smaller than its maximum width or maximum length, the thickness being measured along a first axis, the length along a second axis and the width along a third axis, the first, second and third axes being mutually orthogonal; wherein the maximum width and length are sufficient for the diverter to obstruct and temporarily seal the perforation; and wherein the maximum thickness is sufficiently small to avoid the diverter, when seated on a perforation, from being removed from the perforation by hydraulic fracture fluid flowing past the diverter to other perforations in the casing not sealed with a diverter when the hydraulic fracture fluid is flowing into the well bore at or below a predetermined maximum rate.
