oa Stimulation of Low-Permeability Gas Reservoirs in Latin America

Gas figures show that Latin America holds only 4.3% of the world’s conventional gas reserves. However, consumption has become important in some countries such as Argentina and Brazil. On the other hand, some estimates for unconventional reserves set Latin America with 29% of the world’s reserves, which would be comparable with combined US and Canadian reserves. Despite these interesting data, Latin America has undertaken only a few projects involving tight and unconventional gas development. This is relevant in an area where most of the countries satisfy their energy demand from means including gas imports.
