Methods including the steps of selecting a target fracture geometry for a portion of a subterranean formation; selecting a target tip pressure and a target back flow pressure based at least in part on a calculation for the target fracture geometry; selecting a target surface pressure and a target bottom-hole pressure based at least in part on a calculation for the target tip pressure and the target back flow pressure; and introducing a slurry fluid comprising proppant particulates into one or more fractures in the portion of the subterranean formation. The surface pressure corresponds to the target surface pressure, and bottom-hole pressure corresponds to the target bottom-hole pressure.

Methods for stimulating a high-permeability subterranean formation are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method comprises the step of selecting a target fracture geometry for a portion of a subterranean formation. The method further comprises the step of introducing a pad fluid comprising a fluid-loss-control additive into the portion of the subterranean formation to create or extend one or more fractures in the portion of the subterranean formation, wherein an amount of the fluid-loss-control additive is determined based at least in part on the target fracture geometry. The method further comprises allowing a barrier to form along at least a portion of the one or more fractures, wherein the barrier comprises the fluid-loss-control additive. The method further comprises introducing a slurry fluid comprising proppant particulates into the one or more fractures, wherein a tip screen-out occurs in at least one of the one or more fractures.

Methods of acidizing subterranean formations or well bores, and more specifically, to acidizing systems involving acid-generating fluids that comprise acid-generating compounds and associated methods are provided. An example of a method of the present invention comprises: providing an acid-generating fluid that comprises an acid-generating compound; placing the acid-generating fluid into a well bore penetrating a subterranean formation; and allowing the acid-generating compound to produce an acid that then acidizes at least a portion of the subterranean formation or damage contained in the formation or well bore.

Methods for setting particulate plugs in at least partially horizontal sections of well bores are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method comprises the step of selecting a deposition location for a particulate plug within the at least partially horizontal section of the well bore. The method further comprises the step of providing a pumping conduit capable of delivering slurries to the deposition location. The method further comprises the step of pumping a first slurry through the pumping conduit to the deposition location such that a velocity of the first slurry in the well bore at the deposition location is less than or equal to the critical velocity of the first slurry in the well bore at the deposition location.
