A fluid structure interaction model for hydraulic fracture simulation on Vaca Muerta Argentina shale formation

"Vaca Muerta Formation in Neuquén Basin, Argentina, is one of the great worldwide promises given its potential as a non-conventional reservoir. Because of the intrinsic heterogeneity and low permeability, hydraulic fracturing is a required operation to stimulate the reservoir for better product...
