Abstract:
An example of a method includes providing a hydrajetting tool in a well bore in a formation; injecting a fluid through the tool into a first region of the formation at a velocity sufficient to form one or more perforation tunnels; maintaining the flow of fluid into the perforation tunnels at a pressure greater than the fracture closure pressure, so as to create one or more fractures in the first region; plugging at least partially the fractures with an isolation fluid; injecting a fluid through the hydrajetting tool into a second region of the formation at a velocity sufficient to form one or more perforation tunnels in the second region; and maintaining the flow of fluid into the perforation tunnels in the second region at a pressure greater than the fracture closure pressure, so as to create one or more fractures in the second region.
