Abstract:
A system and method for systemically generating complexity through a formation may include defining a diverter schedule including a set of diverters to be pumped into a wellbore over a duration of time. The system and method may include a first diverter being pumped into the wellbore based on the diverter schedule, the first diverter including matter corresponding to a first mesh value. An onset of pressure response value may be determined using a pressure sensor during or after pumping the first diverter into the wellbore. A next diverter including particles corresponding to a second mesh value may be selected using the onset of pressure response value and the diverter schedule. The next diverter may then pumped into the wellbore.
