Systems and techniques may include enhancing production of a natural resource from a reservoir in the earth. A technique may include, in a reservoir comprising a first and a second well, pumping a first material down the first well into the reservoir, and circulating the first material through the reservoir at a first flow rate and up the second well for a period of time, the first material interacting with a proppant in a fracture zone in the reservoir or reacting with a formation in the fracture zone, or reacting with both. A first permeability of the fracture zone in the reservoir may be reduced to define a reduced permeability. The reduced permeability in first fracture zone may direct the flow of the material to a second fracture zone, increasing the flow of material in a second fraction zone, and the permeability of the second fraction zone may be reduced.
