Abstract:
The disclosure provides fracturing methods having advantage over 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, in relation to current practices, the methods 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 41):
A method of influencing one or more of fracturing characteristics or patterns and hydrocarbon fluid production in a target well, comprising:\n providing a pressurized fluid diversion medium comprising a material, wherein the material comprises a diverting agent, wherein the diverting agent is a chemical diverting agent; introducing the pressurized fluid diversion medium into an injection well spatially proximate to a target well; allowing the material to migrate into fractures in the injection well; and after a suitable injected fluid dwell time of the pressurized fluid diversion medium, introducing a carrier liquid into the target well to induce fracturing of high stress areas in the target well.
