Current Project
Facies, Geometries and Sequence Stratigraphy of the Mixed Carbonate-Siliciclastic System in the Neuquén Basin, Argentina
Mixed carbonate-siliciclastic systems containing hydrocarbons pose unique problems to exploration and production because the complex variations in facies and diagenetic history result in heterogeneous reservoir properties. Optimizing field development in such an environment requires a level of reservoir characterization that adequately describes the flow networks within the reservoir as well as the variations in rock quality both laterally and vertically.
The goal of the proposed research effort is to develop a predictive model of the prograding Upper Jurassic-Lower Cretaceous mixed carbonate-siliciclastic system in the Neuquén Basin.
