Electrical and Static Fracturing of a Reservoir

The invention relates in particular to a method for fracturing a geological hydrocarbon reservoir, including the static fracturing (S20) of the reservoir by means of hydraulic pressure, and the electrical fracturing (S10) of the reservoir by generating an electric arc in a well drilled into the reservoir. The invention thus enables the improved fracturing of the reservoir.
