Abstract

Methods of fracturing a hydrocarbon formation are described herein. A method may include propagating one or more first fractures from a first wellbore in the hydrocarbon formation, allowing a selected period of time to elapse so that at least a portion of the first fractures close, and propagating at least one second fracture in the wellbore or a second wellbore after the elapsed selected period of time.
