Abstract
A method of treating a subterranean formation penetrated by a well-bore, for example to facilitate fracturing of the formation, comprises the steps of: (i) selecting a treatment fluid comprising a diverting agent (A) in a flaked form, for example guar gum in a flaked form. (ii) introducing the treatment fluid into the subterranean formation via the well-bore to plug a region of the formation. Thereafter, the formation may be fractured or re-fractured.
