  "term": "Mechanical diversion",
  "field": "Oil and gas",
  "definition": "The use of solid, physical objects to block off perforations or existing fractures to divert stimulation fluids into other sections of a reservoir. This technique is applied during multi-stage fracturing to treat different zones sequentially within a single wellbore. Common mechanical diverters include ball sealers that seat on perforation holes and bridge plugs that provide complete zonal isolation between fracturing stages.",
