Electric pump flow rate modulation for fracture monitoring and control

An injection system, comprising:

• an electric pump, wherein the electric pump is configured to pump one or more fluids into a wellbore at an injection flow rate;
• one or more sensors;
• and
• an injection treatment control subsystem,
• wherein the injection treatment control subsystem is communicatively coupled to the electric pump and the one or more sensors via one or more communication links,
• wherein the injection treatment control subsystem is configured to:
• receive measurements from the one or more sensors;
• modulate the injection flow rate of the one or more fluids in cycles of short duration, wherein the cycles of short duration are less than about one minute;
• evaluate fracture growth parameters of one or more fractures produced by the one or more fluids;
• and
• adjust fracture complexity of the one or more fractures based on the evaluation of the fracture growth parameters, wherein the injection treatment control subsystem is configured to adjust fracture complexity by increasing the fracture complexity of the one or more fractures by modulating the injection flow rate to produce a pressure to be above a maximum horizontal stress of the subterranean formation.
