  • Patent number: 8794324
    Abstract: A treatment system including a seal assembly operatively arranged with respect to a first zone in a borehole for isolating the first zone from a second zone and a third zone. The second and third zones are located on opposite sides of the first zone. A string assembly extends between the second zone and the third zone, forms a first fluid pathway operatively arranged to bypass the first zone and enable fluid communication between the second and third zones. The first fluid pathway is fluidly connected to an annulus of the borehole for enabling a treatment of the second and third zones to be performed simultaneously. A method of operating a treatment system is also included.
