    Abstract: A method includes placing a fluid in a treatment zone of a wellbore, the fluid in fluid communication with a near wellbore region of a subterranean formation. At least one energetic event generating material is placed in the wellbore, and positioned adjacent and up hole from the fluid. An energetic event is generated from the at least one energetic event generating material, and at least one fracture is formed in the near wellbore region from the at least one energetic event applying a pressure pulse onto the fluid. In some aspects, the fluid is a viscous pill.
