Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide a method of treating a subterranean formation penetrated by a wellbore. The method includes introducing a composition comprising a gas into fractures of the subterranean formation extending from the wellbore, followed by or simultaneously with introducing a diverting composition comprising a carrier fluid and a diverting agent into the subterranean formation under sufficient pressure to fracture a portion of the subterranean formation and release hydrocarbons from the subterranean formation, wherein the gas occupies the fractures at a sufficient pressure to cause the carrier fluid to be diverted to additional fractures of the subterranean formation defined by the portion.
