Notes: K: thousand; M: million; B: billion (109)

Over 14,000 wells drilled to date of which ~400 are unconventional. Vaca Muerta is considered a “world class” source rock due to its size, thickness and carbon

content.

VACA MUERTA FORMATION AT NEUQUINA BASIN

Page 10: Presentación de PowerPoint - IAPG. Houston · 2016-10-07 · Cuenca de Salado DF: 3245 mbnm* First discover Marta x-1, AGIP (1970) San Jorge Gulf basin PF: 2105 mbnm Tested 500 boe/d

RESOURCES: 308 TCF of gas and 16,2 billion barrels of oil

PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES:

A) Significant amount of Total Organic Carbon

B) High pressure

C) Good permeability

D) Good thickness vertical drilling OK,extraction cost significantly reduced.

GOOD DEPTH

More than 2500 meters and well below the freshwateraquifers. A safe reservoir reduces the environmental risks.

LOCATION

Far away from urban centers. It is located in the mainconventional oil and gas production field with the necessaryinfrastructure for the development of shale.

Its greatpotential isexplained by itsgeologicalcharacteristicsand thegeographicallocation.
