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 22):
A method of influencing a behavior of a target well, comprising:\n injecting a gas into an injection well spatially proximate to a target well to increase a pressure of the injection well; after starting gas injection in the injection well, introducing a carrier liquid into the target well to induce fracturing in the target well; and stopping injection of the gas in the injection well.
