CONT

[…] desde hace más de un siglo la actividad de las empresas de exploración y producción de petróleo y gas se concentró en explorar y desarrollar los reservorios "convencionales". Así que, por contraste, a los reservorios de arenas compactas y a los ubicados en rocas generadoras, entre otros, se los llamó "no convencionales".
