Abstract: A method of managing flow in a first producing well section when hydraulic fracturing a second well section includes reperforating the first producing well section to create a new set of perforations, pressurizing the formation through the new set of perforations, and pressurizing the formation through the second well section with a second amount of hydraulic fracturing liquid while the formation is still pressurized from the first producing well section.

Abstract: A method for extracting a natural resource may include creating a fracture network in a target formation by simultaneously pressurizing the target formation on opposing sides with hydraulic fracturing liquid through different wells creating a series of fractures from each of the different wells with effective fracture lengths that overlap with each other.
