A method of forming multiple inclusions into a subterranean formation can include initiating the inclusions into the formation, the inclusions extending outwardly in respective multiple azimuthal orientations from a casing section, and flowing fluid into each of the inclusions individually, thereby extending the inclusions into the formation one at a time. A system for initiating inclusions outwardly into a subterranean formation from a wellbore can include a casing section having multiple flow channels therein, each of the flow channels being in communication with a respective one of multiple openings formed between adjacent pairs of circumferentially extendable longitudinally extending portions of the casing section. Another system can include a casing section, and an injection tool which engages the casing section and selectively directs fluid into each of the inclusions individually, whereby the inclusions are extended into the formation one at a time.

1. A method of forming multiple inclusions into a subterranean formation, the method comprising: initiating the inclusions into the formation, the inclusions extending outwardly in respective multiple azimuthal orientations from a casing section, wherein the initiating further comprises circumferentially enlarging the casing section; andflowing fluid into each of the inclusions individually, thereby extending the inclusions into the formation one at a time. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the initiating further comprises simultaneously initiating two or more of the inclusions. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the casing section is circumferentially enlarged in response to inflating an inflatable bladder within the casing section. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein inflating the bladder further comprises applying pressure to a pressure intensifier in communication with the bladder. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein circumferentially enlarging the casing section further comprises widening openings formed through the casing section, the openings being in communication with the inclusions. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein flowing fluid further comprises flowing fluid through channels formed longitudinally through the casing section. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein each channel corresponds to a respective one of the inclusions. 8. The method of claim 6, wherein each channel corresponds to a respective one of multiple longitudinally extending openings formed through a side wall of the casing section. 9. The method of claim 8, wherein the inclusions are initiated in response to widening the openings. 10. The method of claim 6, wherein the channels are disposed radially between inner and outer shells of the casing section. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein initiating the inclusions further comprises widening multiple openings formed through a side wall of the casing section, and wherein flowing fluid further comprises isolating the openings from each other while fluid is flowed into each inclusion. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein isolating the openings further comprises inflating a bladder in the casing section. 13. The method of claim 11, wherein isolating the openings further comprises inflating multiple longitudinally extending bladders, each bladder being positioned between an adjacent pair of the openings. 14. A system for forming multiple inclusions into a subterranean formation from a wellbore, the system comprising: at least one casing section;an expansion tool which expands the casing section and thereby simultaneously initiates two or more of the inclusions; andat least one injection tool which engages the casing section and selectively directs fluid into each of the inclusions individually, whereby the inclusions are extended into the formation one at a time. 15. The system of claim 14, wherein the casing section, when circumferentially extended, initiates the inclusions into the formation, whereby the inclusions extend outwardly in respective multiple azimuthal orientations from the casing section. 16. The system of claim 14, wherein the expansion tool comprises inflatable bladder. 17. The system of claim 16, wherein the expansion tool further comprises a pressure intensifier in communication with the bladder. 18. The system of claim 14, wherein openings in communication with the inclusions are widened in response to expansion of the casing section. 19.

The system of claim 19, wherein each channel corresponds to a respective one of multiple longitudinally extending openings formed through a side wall of the casing section. 22. The system of claim 21, wherein the inclusions are initiated in response to the openings being widened. 23. The system of claim 19, wherein the channels are disposed radially between inner and outer shells of the casing section. 24. The system of claim 14, wherein the inclusions are initiated in response to multiple openings formed through a side wall of the casing section being widened, and wherein the openings are isolated from each other while fluid is flowed into each inclusion. 25. The system of claim 24, wherein the openings are isolated from each other by a bladder inflated in the casing section. 26. The system of claim 24, wherein the openings are isolated from each other by multiple longitudinally extending bladders, each bladder being positioned between an adjacent pair of the openings. 27. The system of claim 14, wherein the at least one casing section comprises multiple casing sections, wherein the at least one injection tool comprises multiple injection tools, and wherein a first injection tool selectively directs fluid into a first inclusion and a second injection tool selectively produces fluid from a second inclusion. 28. The system of claim 27, wherein the first and second inclusions are in a same azimuthal orientation. 29. The system of claim 27, wherein the first injection tool directs fluid into the first inclusion concurrently as the second injection tool produces fluid from the second inclusion. 30. A system for forming multiple inclusions into a subterranean formation from a wellbore, the system comprising: at least one casing section; andat least one injection tool which engages the casing section and selectively directs fluid into each of the inclusions individually, whereby the inclusions are extended into the formation one at a time, wherein openings in communication with the inclusions are widened in response to expansion of the casing section. 31. A system for forming multiple inclusions into a subterranean formation from a wellbore, the system comprising: at least one casing section; andat least one injection tool which engages the casing section and selectively directs fluid into each of the inclusions individually, whereby the inclusions are extended into the formation one at a time, wherein the inclusions are initiated in response to multiple openings formed through a side wall of the casing section being widened, and wherein the openings are isolated from each other while fluid is flowed into each inclusion. 32. A method of forming multiple inclusions into a subterranean formation, the method comprising: initiating the inclusions into the formation, the inclusions extending outwardly in respective multiple azimuthal orientations from a casing section; andflowing fluid into each of the inclusions individually, thereby extending the inclusions into the formation one at a time, wherein flowing fluid further comprises flowing fluid through channels formed longitudinally through the casing section. 33. A method of forming multiple inclusions into a subterranean formation, the method comprising: initiating the inclusions into the formation, the inclusions extending outwardly in respective multiple azimuthal orientations from a casing section, wherein initiating the inclusions further comprises widening multiple openings formed through a side wall of the casing section; andflowing fluid into each of the inclusions individually, thereby extending the inclusions into the formation one at a time, wherein flowing fluid further comprises isolating the openings from each other while fluid is flowed into each inclusion.
