Abstract
Methods and systems for creating fractures in rock are disclosed herein. In an exemplary method, reactive fluid is delivered into a wellbore. Formation fracture pressure is added to the reactive fluid in the wellbore sufficient to create a fracture network in a formation. The reaction pressure rubblizes the portion of a rock face of the fracture wall face to generate propping rubble that props the fracture open.
