Fluid injection process for hydrocarbon recovery from a subsurface formation

A method of treating a subsurface formation, comprising:

• providing a first fluid into a first wellbore, a first fracture and a second fracture emanating from the first wellbore into the formation, at least some hydrocarbons having been produced from the formation through the first fracture and the second fracture and through the first wellbore;
• wherein at least a portion of the first fluid is provided at a pressure above a fracture pressure of the subsurface formation for at least a period of time to form one or more third fractures;
• wherein at least a portion of the first fluid increases a minimum horizontal stress in a first zone of the formation substantially surrounding the first fracture, wherein at least a portion of the first fluid increases a minimum horizontal stress in a second zone substantially surrounding the second fracture, and wherein at least a portion of the first fluid increases a minimum horizontal stress in a third zone of the formation substantially surrounding at least one of the third fractures;
• wherein a fourth zone of the formation is located outside of the first zone, the second zone, and the third zone, and wherein the fourth zone has a minimum horizontal stress below the minimum horizontal stress in the first zone, the minimum horizontal stress in the second zone, and the minimum horizontal stress in the third zone after the first fluid increases the minimum horizontal stresses in the first zone, the second zone, and the third zone;
• forming one or more fourth fractures emanating from a second wellbore in the formation, wherein the second wellbore is substantially parallel to the first wellbore, wherein at least one of the fourth fractures emanates from the second wellbore and propagates into the fourth zone of the formation, and wherein the fourth fractures do not intersect with the fractures emanating from the first wellbore;
• producing hydrocarbons from the first wellbore;
• providing a second fluid into the first wellbore after producing at least some hydrocarbons from the first wellbore;
• and
• producing hydrocarbons from the second wellbore after forming the fourth fractures.
