  • Publication number: 20160281480
    Abstract: There is provided processes for producing gaseous hydrocarbon material from a subterranean formation. A process includes hydraulically fracturing the subterranean formation such that a connecting fracture is generated that extends from a lower well to an upper well, and such that gaseous hydrocarbon material is received within the connecting fracture in response to the hydraulic fracturing. Another process includes stimulating the subterranean formation, when the formation already includes the connecting fracture extending from a lower well to an upper well, such that gaseous hydrocarbon material is received within the connecting fracture in response to the stimulating.
