The tunas formation fracturing on the eastern edge of the Sierras Australes of Buenos Aires and its potential as fluid reservoir in the adjacent Claromecó basin

The structural study of the petrophysical characteristics and the spatial arrangement of the fracturing in the exposed sedimentary rocks along the eastern edge of the Sierras Australes de Buenos Aires is the main objective of this work. These outcrops correspond to the Tunas Formation of the Pillahu...
