1. A method for initiating chemical reactions in a wellbore, the method comprising:
delivering one or more reactive components via a carrier fluid to the wellbore, the one or more reactive components being configured to initiate one or more chemical reactions that cause the carrier fluid to expand, wherein the delivery of the one or more reactive components to the wellbore is controlled via a control system;
providing measurements to the control system, the measurements including data indicative of a volume of the one or more reactive components delivered to the wellbore;
determining, via the control system, that the volume of the one or more reactive components delivered to the wellbore meets or exceeds a threshold volume of the one or more reactive components;
terminating, via the control system, the delivery of the one or more reactive components to the wellbore in response to determining that the threshold volume is met or exceeded; and
introducing heat or electromagnetic radiation to the wellbore via one or more fiber optic cables, wherein the heat or the electromagnetic radiation is configured to cause the one or more reactive components to initiate the one or more chemical reactions.
