Abstract:
Methods of introducing into a subterranean formation a series of treatment fluids comprising one of micro-proppant particulates, micro-degradable particulates, branch-proppant particulates, branch-degradable particulates, main-proppant particulates, and main-degradable particulates and placing the particulates into portions of microfracture(s), branch fracture(s), and main fracture(s) to increase fracture complexity of a fracture network in the subterranean formation.
