Abstract

In this project, we characterize modifications induced on the structure of clay-minerals, extracted from the Brazilian resources, due to the presence of perforation fluids in the presence and absence of some inhibitors. The main technique to be used is X-Ray diffraction. This project involves the participation of Petrobras researchers that will be furnished the clay-minerals extracted from the Brazilian ocean near the maritime plataforms. (AU)
