Trends in Vaca Muerta Horizontal Wells Stimulation

SPE Latin America and Caribbean Petroleum Engineering Conference, 2017
Abstract Until the recent crude and gas price decrease in late 2015, development in the Vaca Muerta shale experienced profitable production through improved methods, efficiency, and economics control. To combine public domain hydrocarbon production datasets with detailed proprietary drilling information, operators and ...

El café y las vacas muertas

Educación Química, 2018
Locas se volvieron las cabras cuando en 1440 probaron el café. Muertas se quedan las vacas cuando hoy día se cosecha el grano. Este hecho se ha observado repetidamente a lo largo de los años en la zona del no Amiztlán, el cual recorre parte de los estados de Puebla y Veracruz, en México.

Optimism and Activity Rising in the Vaca Muerta

Journal of Petroleum Technology, 2017
Optimism and Activity Rising in the Vaca Muerta Confidence in the geologic potential of Argentina’s unconventional resource plays is higher than ever, which is turning the focus to how and when oil and gas producers there will ramp up commercial levels of production.

Type Curves for Vaca Muerta Horizontal Wells

SPE Argentina Exploration and Production of Unconventional Resources Symposium, 2018
Abstract The increasing number of drilled, completed, and produced horizontal wells in Vaca Muerta enables strengthening the generation of its type curves. The samples can be categorized by produced fluid, landing zone, and eventually by other criteria, reaching statistical significance and, thereby, enabling the preparation of type ...

Vaca Muerta Numerical Simulation: A Warning in Compositional Modelling

SPE Argentina Exploration and Production of Unconventional Resources Symposium, 2018
Abstract The paper highlights the limitations in the use of cubic equations of state (CEOS), for modelling reservoir behavior of liquid phase (black and volatile oil), in highly undersaturated reservoirs. This is important in high shrinkage volatile oils for which complex dependence of fluid behavior with composition is found.

Integrated seismic reservoir chacterization of Vaca Muerta shale

SEG Technical Program Expanded Abstracts 2014, 2014
Summary The Vaca Muerta (VM) formation, covering approximately 30,000 square kilometers in Argentina's Neuquen Basin, is a developing unconventional resource play. The giant Vaca Muerta shale oil and gas field has an estimated resource potential of 600+ billion barrels of oil and 1,000+ TCF of natural gas.

Application of Channel Fracturing in the Vaca Muerta Shale Formation

SPE Latin America and Caribbean Petroleum Engineering Conference, 2014
Abstract The channel hydraulic fracturing technique was recently introduced to the oil and gas industry as an alternative to the conventional hydraulic fracturing methodology. Channel fracturing involves the creation of a network of open channels or flow paths within the stimulated fracture volume, enabling the increased flow of ...

Vaca Muerta Unconventional Oil Study—Insights from Organic Geochemistry

Proceedings of the 7th Unconventional Resources Technology Conference, 2019
We studied the Vaca Muerta (VM) Play (Neuquén Basin, Argentina) focusing on an oil window mature well (VR ~0.9-1.1%) to determine 1) zones of enrichment and depletion, 2) correlation/allocation to produced fluids, and 3) in-situ GOR and PVT characteristics.Zones of saturation versus depletion, total in-place liquids, oil quality and bitumen enrichment ...
