Abstract:
A method for extracting natural gas or petroleum-based products, including: introducing shape memory alloy beads into a wellbore with hydraulic fracturing fluid to form a bridge comprising shape memory alloy beads in a tertiary path, where the shape memory alloy beads forming the bridge have a first phase, and the hydraulic fracturing fluid has an initial hydraulic fracturing fluid flow rate across the bridge; applying a pressure to transform the shape memory alloy beads to a second phase, where deforming the shape memory alloy beads causes the hydraulic fracturing fluid to have a second hydraulic fracturing fluid flow rate across the bridge.

Claim (Index 5):
The method of  claim 4 , where the third hydraulic fracturing flow rate is from greater than or equal to 70.0% to less than or equal to 100.0% of the initial hydraulic fracturing fluid flow rate.
