AbstractThe Chihuido de la Salina field is situated in the folded thrust belt of the Neuquen basin of Argentina. The field is composed of several structural blocks, which have gas caps of different relative sizes. The most important blocks have oil legs in steeply dipping flanks. The structure presents particular problems for both geologic modeling and numerical simulation for the generation of a waterflood development plan. This paper presents the techniques used to incorporate pertinent information from many different disciplines and create a numerical model that enables reasonable predictions for a variety of development scenarios.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
