1. A method for initiating chemical reactions in a wellbore, comprising:
delivering two or more reactive components via a carrier fluid to the wellbore, wherein one or more chemical reactions of the two or more reactive components within the wellbore are configured to cause initiation of one or more additional chemical reactions of the two or more reactive components within the wellbore, thereby causing the carrier fluid to expand and cause one or more fractures in the wellbore;
determining whether a threshold volume of the two or more reactive components has been delivered to the wellbore; and
in response to determining that the threshold volume of the two or more reactive components has not been delivered to the wellbore, continue delivering the two or more reactive components to the wellbore; or
in response to determining that the threshold volume of the two or more reactive components has been delivered to the wellbore, causing delivery of the two or more reactive components to the wellbore to cease.
