A method of fracturing a production interval of a subterranean formation adjacent a wellbore that is open hole or has an uncemented liner is provided. The method comprises the steps of : (a) perforating a zone of the production interval by injecting a pressurized fluid through a hydra jetting tool into the subterranean formation, so as to form one or more perforation tunnels; and (b) injecting a fracturing fluid into the one or more perforation tunnels so as to create at least one fracture along each of the one or more perforation tunnels; wherein at least a portion of at least one of the pressurized fluid and the fracturing fluid comprises a viscoelastic surfactant fluid. According to another aspect, the method may comprise the step of : (c) plugging at least partially the one or more fractures in the zone with an isolation fluid.

La présente invention concerne un procédé de fracturation d'un intervalle de production d'une formation souterraine se trouvant juste à côté d'un puits qui est un trou ouvert ou a une colonne perdue non cimentée. Le procédé comprend les étapes consistant à :(a) perforer une zone de l'intervalle de production en injectant un fluide sous pression au moyen d'un outil d'injection hydraulique dans la formation souterraine, afin de former un ou plusieurs tunnels de perforation; et (b) injecter un fluide de fracturation dans le ou les tunnels de perforation afin de créer au moins une fracture le long du tunnel ou de chacun des tunnels de perforation; au moins une partie d'au moins un fluide entre le fluide sous pression et le fluide de fracturation comprenant un fluide tensio-actif viscoélastique. Selon un autre aspect, le procédé comprend l'étape consistant à : (c) obturer au moins partiellement la ou les fractures dans la zone avec un fluide d'isolement.
