Analyzing a suitable elastic geomechanical model for Vaca Muerta Formation

Journal of South American Earth Sciences, 2017
Abstract Accurate geomechanical evaluation of oil and gas reservoir rocks is important to provide design parameters for drilling, completion and predict production rates. In particular, shale reservoir rocks are geologically complex and heterogeneous.

Periplatform ooze in a mixed siliciclastic-carbonate system - Vaca Muerta Formation, Argentina

Sedimentary Geology, 2020
Abstract Thick carbonate mud successions and marl/limestone alternations are often found in periplatform environments. The sources of these fine-grained sediments and the processes that govern their accumulation and distribution in the basin are frequently a matter of debate.

Fracture Stratigraphy of the Vaca Muerta Formation

78th EAGE Conference and Exhibition 2016, 2016
In shale reservoirs, where permeabilities are low, additional stimulation is required to ensure economic production (Warpinski et al., 2009). In the case of the Vaca Muerta shale in Argentina the mechanical behaviour of the rock as it relates to the ability of natural and induced fractures to sustain hydraulic conductivity pathways is considered the ...

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 ...

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

Vaca Muerta Formation: An Example of Shale Heterogeneities Controlling Hydrocarbon Accumulations

Proceedings of the 2nd Unconventional Resources Technology Conference, 2014
Vaca Muerta Formation, a thick Upper Jurassic unit covering at least 25,000km 2 , is located in Neuquen Basin and represents the most important source rock in Argentina. Its geological and petrophysical variations are significantly linked to the geodynamic history of the basin strongly related to the transition from extensional reactivation to thermal ...
