La estimulaci\u00f3n hidr\u00e1ulica, tambi\u00e9n conocida como \u201cfracking\u201d, es una operaci\u00f3n que se realiza en pozos convencionales desde los a\u00f1os 40 (desde 1959 en la Argentina), para mejorar la permeabilidad y, as\u00ed, el rendimiento de los pozos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En formaciones no convencionales, de baja o nula permeabilidad, esta t\u00e9cnica se vuelve imprescindible. Tal es el caso de las formaciones \u201cshale\u201d, como Vaca Muerta, o de las formaciones \u201ctight\u201d. Consiste en inyectar un fluido a presi\u00f3n (95% agua) hasta vencer la resistencia de la roca, para abrir microfisuras que son apuntaladas por granos de arenas especiales. Es por los intersticios de esos granos, por donde el gas y el petr\u00f3leo pueden fluir hacia el pozo y ser recuperados en la superficie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En esta l\u00e1mina se muestra, en forma esquem\u00e1tica, de qu\u00e9 se trata dicha operaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
