Abstract:The production of shale gas in Brazil has great potential to meet the country's energy needs. This process uses hydraulic fracturing, a well stimulation method that induces fractures in the reservoir rock by injecting a fracturing fluid into it, therefore increasing the permeability around the well, as well as the well's productivity index. To mitigate the risks involved in hydraulic fracturing, it is important to properly understand the operation and the factors influencing the process. This work aims to iden… Show more
