Abstract
A process for decreasing total fluid flow through a large natural or induced fracture where smaller multiple fractures are created. These multiple fractures each have a smaller aperture than said natural or induced fracture. The combined fluid flow through said multiple fractures is sufficiently less than the total fluid flow through said large fracture, thereby decreasing fluid bypass and improving sweep efficiency.
