Problem

Hydraulic stimulation in Vaca Muerta involved complex, high-pressure conditions. Fracturing activity could also affect nearby producing wells.

Approach

Vista implemented a proprietary AI monitoring tool in March 2025. It supported real-time completion-design decisions and helped identify and characterize fracturing interference with existing wells.
