ABSTRACT:
This specification discloses a method of hydraulic fracturing a subterranean formation wherein two horizontally spaced-apart wells are provided and completed to communicate with the formation. Hydraulic fluid pressure is sequentially applied to create and propagate vertical fractures into the formation and to create a vertical fracture that communicates both wells. This specification further disclosed the creation of an enhanced fracture drainage pattern in a hydrocarbon-bearing formation and producing hydrocarbons from the formation via a single producing well.
