Gasbras

R&D Project – Geological and geochemical characterization of potential organic shales from onshore Brazilian sedimentary basins for the generation of natural gas (gas shales).

Sponsor:
Finep

Period of execution:
2014 to 2021

Project presentation:
Project in partnership with 08 Brazilian research institutions, constituting the REDE GASBRAS, whose objective was the geological and geochemical characterization of potential organic shales from the onshore Brazilian sedimentary basins for the generation of natural gas (gas shales). Among the products of the project, the first national ATLAS was generated showing the potential of Brazilian sedimentary basins for the generation of unconventional natural gas.
