ABSTRACT:
A high energy gas fracturing device, adapted to be lowered into a well. The device comprises a closed tube made of strong material, sized to fit into the well and having at least one sidewall, which defines a set of openings. A set of closure elements seal the openings in a water-tight manner. Also, a charge of propellant is located in the closed tube, the charge achieving best performance if kept dry. Finally, an ignition element contacts the charge.
