ABSTRACT:
A controlled pulse fracturing ("CPF") process where a viscous fluid is used as a tamp or fluid cushion above a propellant device. Use of said fluid increases the vertical drag in the open wellbore thereby maximizing injection into the formation. Increasing the vertical drag during the fracturing procedure maximizes the number, extent, and length of fractures.
