A method of treating a formation at a lateral section of a well involves pumping treatment fluid with or without a proppant, such as sand slugs, into the well to induce fractures in the formation. The lateral section has openings in a casing, which can be un-cemented. The treatment fluid is pumped into the well to treat portions of the formation at the heel and toe of the lateral section without mechanically dividing the lateral section of the well. A concentration of degradable diverting agent is mixed with the treatment fluid, and the treatment fluid with agent is pumped into the well. The agent is pumped into the portions of the formation having the lowest fracture gradient, such as near the heel and toe of the lateral section. The pumped fluid is at least diverted from the heel and toe of the lateral section by the agent so that portions of the formation adjacent the middle portion of the lateral section can be treated the pumped fluid.

Abstract:
A method of stimulating an entire target formation of an oil or gas well during fluid treatment is obtained by dividing the target formation into intermediate zones and initiating stimulation in each intermediate zone. Once stimulation is initiated in each intermediate zone, ball sealers are used to block the casing perforations at the intermediate zone and divert fluids to another intermediate zone. After stimulation has been initiated in all intermediate zones, the ball sealers are removed from the perforations and treatment of the entire target formation is conducted.
