Argentina has had no opportunity so far to make a stimulation work of this type, mainly because of the absence of a layer meeting the principal characteristics needed to carry out a job of this size, considering the lack of equipment required by a service company to face the magnitude of the work in question. In the year 2000, Pan American ENERGY, a BP Amoco subsidiary, made exploratory works on a sand formation of interest that met the adequate characteristics to try and develop this kind of job. This paper shows how operator and service company designed this treatment in a team work and how this job was accomplished and came to be the largest stimulation treatment successfully done in Argentina to date. This kind of jobs can open a new way to handle tight gas zones in Argentina.
