Abstract
The disclosure pertains to the design and implementation of a diversion procedure for geologic openings. Embodiments involve performing a screening analysis to determine if a well or formation is appropriate for stimulation. If a well is appropriate, a modeling analysis is performed to determine candidate parameters for a diversion procedure. The analysis is divided into two segments, a dry analysis of jamming and a wet and full-physics-based analysis of plugging. The jamming analysis provides candidates to the plugging analysis to reduce the work of the more intensive wet full-physics modeling.
