Abstract

A first fracturing fluid is pumped through a first wellbore at a first pressure. The first wellbore includes a first vertical section and horizontal section having a first end, intersecting from the first vertical section, and a distal end. A second fracturing fluid is pumped through a second wellbore at a second pressure simultaneously while the first fracturing fluid is pumped through the first wellbore. The second wellbore includes a second vertical section that intersects with the distal end of the horizontal section. The first pressure and the second pressure result in the first fracturing fluid and the second fracturing fluid intersecting at a fracture point within the horizontal section at a third pressure. The first fracturing fluid and the second fracturing fluid each experience a respective pressure drop traveling through their respective wellbores to the fracture point/. The respective pressure drops result in the third pressure.
