Oil and Gas Company of Neuquén SA launched the third round for exploration of 13 oil and gas areas secondary Basin Neuquén. According to forward its president, Ruben Etcheverry, "these are areas potentially rich in gas reservoirs in unconventional geological targets." Oil and Gas Company of Neuquén majority state-owned SA (G & P) has launched a new call for tender for the selection of companies interested in partnering with state oil company for exploration, development and production of hydrocarbon areas.
This is the third-round G & P calls, involving thirteen (13) secondary areas of an extensive area covering 3,828 square kilometers located in north-central area with potential verifiable sources of unconventional gas. Between the first and second round materialized in 2009, reached an investment of around U.S. $ 73 million. The total area of \u200b\u200bthe 23 areas tendered cover 23,000 square kilometers.
Ruben Etcheverry, president of Signature, said that "there is great expectation in this call because it is potentially rich in gas fields in Unconventional Reservoirs, in tight gas reservoirs of the type (gas from tight sands) and shale gas ( clay gas) "and added that" several companies have already expressed directory G & P the interest they have in these new possibilities. " Today, Thursday 28 October, began selling the specifications with terms and conditions for those companies interested in working in a coordinated and combined with G & P. The opening of the contest will be Nov. 17, at 11, the CH microcine Plaza building, located on the ground floor of Carlos H. Rodríguez 364 of this capital, home to the firm.
This third round, said Etcheverry "includes reservoirs with large surface area, distributed in the departments Pehuenche Añelo, Confluence, Zapala, Catan Lil, Collon Cura, Picunches, Ñorquín and alumina. The thirteen areas are: Loma del Molle, Bajo del Toro, Pampa The Mares-Block I, Pampa de las Mares, Block II, The Tacanas, Chasquivil, The Candlestick, Cerro Partido, Aguada de Castro, Cerro Las Minas, Huitrín Salinas, Wasp and Loma del Cerro Mojon.
In early February this year and his return from the tour of work that made the state of Texas, United States, Gov. George Sapag news conference ahead of the developed areas of work for five days revolved around alternative energy, new technologies and, crucially, the unconventional gas. 
At this point detailed the meetings held with executives from Exxon Mobil and said that "the Neuquen basin has a large gas reserves in tight sands, marking the province a horizon that changes and expands the perspective of gas reserves from 20 to 50 years or so. Specifically, according to company officials Neuquén, the business interest would be focused mainly in shale gas, ie gas-bearing clays. The difference between tight gas and shale gas is that the former are reservoir rocks, such as traditional mineral oils, but with a poor petrophysical, ie very low porosity and low permeability . In the case of tight gas, it is the bedrock that gave rise to hydrocarbons, released a large proportion of them, but some was trapped in the rock. worth mentioning that the new technologies and optimization of equipment, made-elsewhere in the world, these rocks have already advanced development. Currently, over 98% of the unconventional gas production from the United States. However, this picture is changing rapidly due to the existence of exploration projects and development of unconventional gas reserves in all continents.
The analogy of several target units found in the Neuquen Basin (geological reservoir covers almost the entire territory of Neuquen and land portions of the provinces of Mendoza, La Pampa and Rio Black) are totally correlated to other cases on the planet, thus suggests that the exploration of these secondary areas, which were declared deserted or did not receive much interest from companies in early 2009 - will succeed.
Oil and Gas Company of Neuquén SA (G & P) has launched the bidding for companies interested in partnering with state oil company for exploration, development and production of 13 core areas. "There are great expectations in this call because it is potentially rich in gas fields in unconventional reservoirs, in tight gas reservoirs of the type (gas from tight sands) and shale gas (clay)," said President G & P, Ruben Etcheverry. The unconventional gas fields are located in the northern center of the province in an area of \u200b\u200b3,828 square kilometers.
This call for proposals by the company Neuquén is the third of its kind with characteristics similar to the previous two made in 2009.
was reached at that time an investment of around U.S. $ 73 million covering 23 areas tendered 23,000 square kilometers.
Etcheverry, said several companies have already expressed to the board of G & P the interest they have in these new opportunities, noting that "new technologies and optimization of equipment, made in other parts of the world, these sites have an advanced development. " Currently, over 98 ncient of unconventional gas production from the United States, but there are projects for exploration and development of unconventional gas reserves in all continents. http://noticias.terra.com.ar/ neuquen-looking-member-to-exploit-areas -secondary 9488f07a718fb210VgnVCM20000099

NEUQUÉN (AN) .- Oil and Gas Company of Neuquén (G & P) called for tenders for the selection of companies interested in partnering with state oil company for exploration, development and production of hydrocarbon areas.
This is the third-round G & P announces thirteen areas and involves a large area high schools covering 3,828 square kilometers located in north-central area and with demonstrable potential unconventional gas fields. Between the first and second round materialized in 2009, reached an investment of 73 million dollars.
The surface of the 23 areas tendered cover 23,000 square kilometers.
Ruben Etcheverry, president of Signature, said that "there is great expectation in this call because it is potentially rich in gas fields in Unconventional Reservoirs, rate both in tight gas fields (gas from tight sands) and shale gas (clay), "adding that" several companies have already expressed to the board of G & P the interest they have in these new possibilities. "Yesterday began sale of tender documents with terms and conditions for those companies interested in working with G & P. \u200b\u200b
