Abstract
A method and system pulse for treating a plurality of wells simultaneously includes applying a high pressure of fracturing fluid to one or more switching valves and repeatedly opening and closing the one or more switching valves to divert the fracturing fluid near instantaneously from one well to the other well to creating a pulse wave into the plurality of wells for fracturing subterranean formations. The one or more switching valves may be a single 3-way valve incorporating the function of two or more switching valves. This technique reduces wear of surface equipment including high pressure pumps that need only provide a constant pressure.
