The methods include plugging existing perforations in an outer casing and existing fractures in the formation with a diverting agent, placing an inner casing in the wellbore while the existing perforations and existing fractures are plugged with the diverting agent, perforating the inner casing and the outer casing to form new perforations, and pumping a fluid through the new perforations to create new fractures in the formation.

  • Patent number: 10920132
    Abstract: Methods for reducing pressure dependent leak-off (PDL) in PDL fractures of an unconventional subterranean formation are described. The methods include introducing a first fluid including micro-proppant particulates into the formation, allowing a portion of the micro-proppant particulates in the first fluid to seal one or more PDL fractures in the formation, pumping an acid into the formation, allowing a portion of the micro-proppant particulates in the first fluid to divert a flow of at least a portion of the acid from the PDL fractures to a primary fracture, introducing a second fluid including micro-proppant particulates into the formation, and allowing a portion of the micro-proppant particulates in the second fluid to seal one or more PDL fractures in the formation.
