Resumen

El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar el impacto del índice de fragilidad en el fracturamiento hidráulico de formaciones de shale gas a nivel mundial y defi nir parámetros para identifi car zonas de interés o sweet spots fracturables en shale plays prospectos.

Se realizó una revisión bibliográfi ca de las propiedades petrofísicas y mecánicas que exhiben diversas formaciones de shale gas en países como estados unidos, China, Holanda, noruega, Dinamarca y suecia. una vez estructurada la base de datos, se calcularon índices de fragilidad utilizando diferentes métodos teniendo en cuenta la composición mineralógica y los módulos elásticos estáticos y dinámicos de cada formación de shale estudiada.

El cálculo de índices de fragilidad en profundidad y su relación con el contenido orgánico total permitió identifi car posibles sweet spots para las formaciones de shale gas de mayor prospección. Adicionalmente, el análisis de la relación entre el índice de fragilidad y el comportamiento mecánico de dichas formaciones permitió determinar que fl uido de fractura es el apropiado para utilizar en caso de realizar un fracturamiento hidráulico en la zona de interés.
