Abstract:The Vaca Muerta (VM) formation is the primary target for unconventional field development in the Neuquén Basin (Argentina), with hundreds of wells drilled in recent years and numerous studies conducted to understand its production potential. The processes that influence the hydraulic fracture geometries in the Vaca Muerta formation are constantly being evaluated, particularly due to the complexity coming from the dispersion of the formation properties and from the lateral and vertical variability (Sagasti et a… Show more
