Method of arresting hydraulic fracture propagation
Patent
·
OSTI ID:5090039
This patent describes a method of hydraulically fracturing a subterranean formation. It comprises: injecting a first fluid through a well bore into a first formation zone and injecting a second fluid through the well bore into a second formation zone which is adjacent to the first zone, the first and second fluids being injected at pressures sufficient to induce fracturing in both formation zones, contacting the first and second fluids in the subterranean formation proximate the interface between the first and second formation zones whereby a barrier product is formed which substantially arrests propagation of fractures from one zone into the other formation zone.
