The importance of oil and gas production from shale plays in the U.S in the last decade also draws attention to the Neuquén Basin in Argentina. The Vaca Muerta Formation is the most prolific source rock of the basin. Today, with approximately 110 MBls/d of oil and 1 Bcf of gas production from 1400 wells, it represents 5% and 23% of the total production of oil and gas of Argentina.

Located in southwestern Argentina, it covers around 15,000 Km2, with more than 10.000 ft. thickness in the depocenters. The basin has more than 100 years of exploration history started with the exploitation of 10 barrels a day from 4 wells in “Arroyo de La Mina” oil seepage. This report summarizes the new exploration ideas, based on geochemical data and outcrops description that allows the existence of a hypothetical new petroleum system. This idea generates high exploration potential in undrilled deep sections of big structures.

Este es un estudio comparativo realizado en los campos petroleros Quifa (Colombia) y la Faja Petrolífera del Orinoco, bloque Ayacucho (área de Huyapari, Venezuela). Sobre los métodos de producción aplicables para incrementar el factor de recobro en crudos pesados en la Faja. Estudios muestran que los factores de recobro aún son bajos 12% en comparación con los crudos livianos y medianos ubicados en las mismas cuencas.
One hour consultation with Marel Sanchez and full presentation first delivered and discussed at the First HGS/EAGE Conference on Latin America in November 2019. This conference focused on South American Petroleum Plays for Future Decades of the Third Millennium. Abstract of the presentation is available in U3Explore reports under the same title
As a consequence of COVID19, most trade shows and events planned during 2020-2021 will be virtual, which places new demands on the exhibitors. To help you present your company, market your opportunities, and attract the most attention of event visitors, U3 Explore has partnered with Petrosys, Actus Veritas Geoscience, PetroCubic, and code t3 to offer this unique service.
