Zusammenfassung:The embodiments herein relate generally to subterranean formation operations and, more particularly, to enhancing complex fracture networks in subterranean formations by maximizing the exposed surface area to enable increased production rates. The embodiments of the present disclosure relate to increasing fracture network complexity and thus enhancing production within a subterranean formation using a plurality of fluid stages and a combination with liquid or solid electrically controlled propellants (ECPs), various electroconductive particulate sizes (EPs), and a source of electrical voltage.
