Materials and method for diverter fracturing

In a method for diverter fracturing, a water-based fracturing fluid including non-convex particles is introduced into a hydraulic fracture of a wellbore at a first location. Each non-convex particle is formed to interlock with another non-convex particle. A diverter plug is formed in the hydraulic f...

Zusammenfassung:In a method for diverter fracturing, a water-based fracturing fluid including non-convex particles is introduced into a hydraulic fracture of a wellbore at a first location. Each non-convex particle is formed to interlock with another non-convex particle. A diverter plug is formed in the hydraulic fracture when multiple non-convex particles interlock. Flow of another water-based fracturing fluid is diverted to a second location due to the diverter plug, forming another hydraulic fracture at the second location.
