ABSTRACT:
A process for sequentially fracturing a subterranean formation containing desired natural resources in which controlled pulse fracturing (CPF) is combined with hydraulic fracturing in the same wellbore. After multiple radial vertical fractures have been created by CPF, a solidifiable gel material is directed into the created fractures during a subsequent hydraulic fracturing procedure. During this procedure, multiple vertical hydraulic fractures initiate in and propagate away from the CPF created fractures thereby bringing the wellbore into communication with the desired natural resources.
