ABSTRACT

The Vaca Muerta offers an excellent opportunity to study field development early in the process. With limited data, and wells being drilled in rapid succession (Rimidio et al., 2015) an understanding of what drives stimulation, and by extension production is critical. In recent years engineering literature has looked at key geomechancial moduli including Young's modulus (E) and Poisson's ratio (v) in order to explain stimulation. (Goodway et al., 2010) However to be truly predictive of what causes stimulation two things are required (1) An integration of datasets utilizing seismic and microseismic (2) An understanding of the uncertainty inherent to these datasets
