In multistage fracturing of unconventional formations, such as the Eagle Ford shale, wells are traditionally stimulated by fracturing several perforation clusters at once. While the technique is operationally efficient, there is evidence from production logs, microseismic monitoring and other measurements that several of the clusters produce below expectations or do not produce at all.
