Simultaneous Inversion for Microseismic Event Location and Velocity Model in Vaca Muerta Formation

Proceedings of the 5th Unconventional Resources Technology Conference, 2017
Velocity models play a key role in locating microseismic events; however, it is usually challenging to construct them reliably. Traditional model-building strategies depend on the availability of well logs or perforation shots. We simultaneously invert for microseismic event locations and a velocity model under the Bayesian inference framework, and we

Hydraulic Fractures Behavior Evaluation in Vaca Muerta Formation, Case Studies

SPE Argentina Exploration and Production of Unconventional Resources Symposium, 2016
Abstract The objective of this work is to show that the estimated stimulate reservoir volume (SRV) from micro seismic analysis under dynamic conditions not always represents the SRV acting as hydrocarbon collector and need to be calibrated with total organic content (TOC), vertical and areal distribution. Furthermore, unlike conventional

Drilling Horizontal Well of 3200m Lateral Length in Vaca Muerta Formation

SPE Argentina Exploration and Production of Unconventional Resources Symposium, 2018
ABSTRACT OBJECTIVES At a time when the demand for energy is growing in Argentina, operators are seeking to improve the profitability of unconventional oilfields by drilling wells with longer lateral lengths (up to 3200 meter), allowing a larger area to be drained by single wellbore, minimizing overall

Dual Porosity Modeling for Shale Gas Wells in the Vaca Muerta Formation

SPE Latin America and Caribbean Petroleum Engineering Conference, 2017
Abstract The Vaca Muerta shale has been developed for oil and gas production since 2010 and to date nearly 500 wells have been drilled. The large amount of static and dynamic information from these wells has enabled fracture design and production strategy optimization.

Leveraging US Unconventional Data Analytics Learnings in Vaca Muerta Shale Formation.

SPE Europec featured at 81st EAGE Conference and Exhibition, 2019
Abstract Data Analytics is progressively gaining traction as a viable resource to improve forecasts and reserve estimations in most prospective US shale plays. Part of those learnings has been tested for the reserves and resources estimation of the next worldwide top-class shale play, Vaca Muerta formation in Argentina.

Successful Dynamic Closure Test Using Controlled Flow Back in the Vaca Muerta Formation

SPE Argentina Exploration and Production of Unconventional Resources Symposium, 2016
Abstract The Vaca Muerta formation is a shale oil and gas reservoir under active tectonics created by the Andes which are compressing the basin in an east to west direction and creates a varying stress regime both in horizontal and vertical directions.

Outcrop to Core Comparison of Natural Fractures in the Vaca Muerta Formation, Argentina

Sixth EAGE Shale Workshop, 2019
Characterizing permeability-controlling fracture attributes is essential for well planning and stimulation design, especially in unconventional reservoirs. Outcrops allow to measure fracture attributes that are below seismic resolution or cannot be readily sampled by core, such as fracture height and length.

Reducing uncertainty in characterization of Vaca Muerta Formation Shale with poststack seismic data

The Leading Edge, 2015
The Late Jurassic–Early Cretaceous Vaca Muerta (VM) Formation in the Neuquén Basin has served as an important source rock for many of the conventional oil and gas fields in Argentina. With the interest in developing and exploiting shale resources in the country, many companies there have undertaken characterization of the VM Formation in terms of the ...
