Simulation of a hydraulic fracturing stage in the Vaca Muerta Formation, with Microseismic Monitoring correlation

"In present work, a finite element model is developed for the hydraulic fracturing process applicable to a stage of a horizontal well in a shale formation, using the joint representation of the clusters that compose it. Based on the advancement of the fracture, several permeability evolution mo...
