Source rock characteristics, Los Molles and Vaca Muerta shales, Neuquen basin, west-central Argentina

Conference Kugler, R L - Am. Assoc. Pet. Geol., Bull.; (United States)

Major hydrocarbon-producing trends of the Neuquen basin occur along its northeastern margin (Eastern Shelf) and along an east-west-trending structural high in the southern half of the basin (Neuquen Dorsal). Sediment thickness increases northward from the Neuquen Dorsal and westward from the Eastern Shelf into the Neuquen Embayment, a region that has been relatively unproductive for hydrocarbons. Major source rocks are the Lower to Middle Jurassic Los Molles Formation and the Upper Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous Vaca Muerta Formation. Los Molles shales are immature to moderately mature on the Neuquen Dorsal: vitrinite reflectance (R/sub o/) = 0.3-0.8%; thermal alteration index (TAI)more »« less
Petroleum systems charged by the Vaca Muerta (Tithonian) Formation: Neuquen basin, Argentina

Journal Article Wavrek, D A ; Collister, J W ; Quick, J C ; ... - AAPG Bulletin

Tithonian (Upper Jurassic) source rock sequences are responsible for a significant volume of petroleum reserves on a global basis. This research defines the petroleum systems within the Neuquon basin that are charged from the Tithonian Vaca Muerta Formation, a unit deposited in a low angle ramp setting that is characterized in seismic and geochemical terms to contain three distinct organic facies. The oil types that correlate to the different organic facies are used to define effective migration pathways. The results indicate that the distal condensed sections are volumetrically significant but physical constraints related to hydrocarbon expulsion and migration contribute tomore »« less
