Abstract

Systems and processes for stimulating subterranean geologic formations to create an artificial stress barrier. An injector well extends from surface to a subterranean geologic formation. After cementing and perforating, the injector well utilizes single-path injection through a coiled tubing and a pump. The coiled tubing is inserted into the injector well to a first stimulation zone. A first stimulation fluid is pumped through the coiled tubing at rate R1 into the first stimulation zone, spaced apart from a target stimulation zone in the formation. The coiled tubing is then inserted into the injector well to the target stimulation zone, then main stimulation treatment fluid at rate R2 is pumped through the coiled tubing at the target stimulation zone, where R2>R1. A sub-system is included that measures blocking effect on the main stimulation fluid in the target stimulation zone by the first stimulation fluid in the first stimulation zone.
