METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR FRACTURING A FORMATION

Systems and methods are described for fracturing a hydrocarbon production formation. A method includes the steps of drilling a well into a zone proximate to a hydrocarbon production formation, and increasing a volume of the zone through the well in order to apply a mechanical stress to the hydrocarb...

Zusammenfassung:	Systems and methods are described for fracturing a hydrocarbon production formation. A method includes the steps of drilling a well into a zone proximate to a hydrocarbon production formation, and increasing a volume of the zone through the well in order to apply a mechanical stress to the hydrocarbon production formation. La présente invention concerne des systèmes et des procédés de fracturation d'une formation de production. Un procédé consiste à forer un puits dans une zone proche d'une formation de production puis à augmenter un volume de la zone par l'intermédiaire du puits afin d'appliquer une contrainte mécanique à la formation de production.
