  • Patent number: 7066266
    Abstract: A method of stimulating an entire target formation of an oil or gas well during fluid treatment is obtained by dividing the target formation into intermediate zones and initiating stimulation in each intermediate zone. Once stimulation is initiated in each intermediate zone, ball sealers are used to block the casing perforations at the intermediate zone and divert fluids to another intermediate zone. After stimulation has been initiated in all intermediate zones, the ball sealers are removed from the perforations and treatment of the entire target formation is conducted.
