Vaca Muerta Numerical Simulation: A Warning in Compositional Modelling
SPE Argentina Exploration and Production of Unconventional Resources Symposium, 2018Abstract 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, 2014Summary 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, 2014Abstract 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, 2019We 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 ...
