Identification of Infill and Step-Out Drilling Potential Via Acoustic Inversion, 3D Seismic Attribute Analysis, and 3D Seismic Curvature Analysis: Neuquen and San Jorge Basins, Argentina
Abstract:Although the San Jorge and Neuquen Basins contain some of Argentina's oldest and most important oil and gas reservoirs, significant potential for infill and step-out drilling remains. The high degree of lateral and vertical heterogeneity within reservoir strata has traditionally made reservoir prediction difficult, while key structural features resulting from multiple phases of tectonic deformation are often subtle but complex, making detailed compartmentalization and fracture analyses uncertain. Nevertheless,… Show more
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.
