YPF

With a strong presence across US shale in the Bakken, Anadarko Basin, Powder River Basin, and the Permian, Continental Resources is expanding into Argentina’s Vaca Muerta shale as the privately held E&P giant pursues international growth.

Output is rising fast in the South American shale play and putting Argentina on a course to soon reach 1 million B/D.

The multiyear contract with YPF includes electric pumping units and automated stimulation services.

Project financing raised by JP Morgan will enable YPF and its partners Eni and ADNOC’s XRG to launch Phase 2 of Argentina LNG, boosting production to 18 mtpa by 2030–2031.

Industry leaders speaking during the opening plenary session at SPE’s Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition say they are optimistic yet pragmatic about delivering energy amid the energy transition.

Argentina’s YPF forecasts the $3 billion oil pipeline and export terminal will carry 180,000 B/D when it goes onstream in 2026.

A Shell partnership with YPF marks a significant milestone for the Argentina LNG export facility, raising new questions about the nation’s potential to unlock the economic power of its vast shale reserves.

Virtual reality and related visualization technologies are helping reshape how the industry views 3D data, makes decisions, and trains personnel.

YPF’s data analytics experts are eagerly seeking partnerships with oilfield operations experts who can help blend elegant data analysis with the messy reality of oil production.

The firms are now partners on multiple blocks in the North Argentina Basin.
