    CHEVRON AND YPF ANNOUNCED THEIR INTENTIONS TO DISCUSS A STRATEGIC ALLIANCE FOR THE EXPLORATION OF SHALE RESOURCES IN ARGENTINA Argentina's state-controlled oil company is holding important meetings with California-based Chevron Corp. to share strategies for developing the world's third-largest unconventional oil and gas reserves. YPF CEO Miguel Galuccio is calling his talks with Chevron's Latin America chief Ali Moshiri the first step toward a strategic alliance with Chevron, Latin America's leading private energy investor. He says YPF needs partners with Chevron's power and experience to develop Argentina's shale reserves, which trail only the U.S. and China in potential. The encounter between the two executives did not lead to any specific investment news, but sets the stage for Galuccio's formal presentation next Thursday August 30 of a five-year plan for the company Argentina expropriated from Spain's Grupo Repsol. YPF said Mr Moshiri had expressed interest “in associating with YPF on an unconventional cluster … in Vaca Muerta” and the talks with Chevron were “the first concrete step towards an alliance that will be strategic along the path that YPF’s president and CEO is leading”. Chevron said it would not comment “on any confidential discussions we hold with officials”. Mr Galuccio in June unveiled a taster of his five-year strategic plan that called for investment of $7bn a year to reverse falling production. Partnerships will be key to funding what he called the “ambitious but realistic” plan, which includes drilling 1,000 wells. Argentina is believed to be home to the world’s third-biggest reserves of unconventional oil and gas, largely in the Vaca Muerta formation in the western province of Neuquén.

Trough an interdisciplinary and federal approach, our work current- ly focuses on the megaproject Vaca Muerta. We take into account the policies involved, and the territories and population afected in the long term. Te strategic focus is on the economic, financial, energy and socio-environmental aspects. Our objective is to expose the over- looked impacts and find a fair path to energy and economic transition. Oilwatch creation was inspired by the need to develop global strate- gies for the communities afected by oil activities; support their re- sistance processes because they didn’t want to see their territories damaged; work for sustainability and defend their collective rights. Within the activities of the network are the exchange of information on oil activities in each country, the companies’ operation practices, the diferent resistance movements and the international campaigns against specific companies. Oilwatch aims to increase environmental awareness at a global level unravelling the impacts of the oil activities in tropical forests and lo- cal populations by establishing a link between the destruction of bio- diversity, climate change, violations to human rights and the role of the Multilateral Banks of Credit.

    ARGENTINA OIL & GAS 2016 Vaca Muerta - Conventionals - E&P - Services and Equipment - YPF Government - Regulations - Legal Framework - Analysis - Survey ARGENTINA OIL & GAS 2016 ARGENTINA Dear Reader, Welcome to GBR’s Industry Exploration covering the current state of the Oil and Gas Industry in Argentina. We could not have visited the country at a more exciting time. 2015 has been a pivotal year for the industry, as Argentina attempts to wrestle back to energy self-sufficiency in the immediate term, and anticipates a shale revolution in the medium to long term. To add to the velocity of change, Argentines ousted the populist government of the Kirchners, who between husband, and then wife, have governed the country since 2003, at great detriment to the Argentine economy, to elect President Macri in December, who leads a coalition fittingly entitled ‘Cambiemos’, ‘Let’s Change’ and has set about his mission with gusto. Currency controls have already been lifted, the Argentine debt has been successfully renegotiated and, after twelve years on the fringes, Argentina is now set to reintegrate with the global economy. With the second largest shale deposits in the world outside of the USA, at ‘Vaca Muerta’ Argentines hope to imitate the shale revolution that has helped to lift the USA out of its economic gloom and enabled the country to overtake Saudi Arabia as the world’s leading oil producer. The challenge is as daunting as the opportunity is immense. Argentina must attract billions of dollars of investment as well as entice junior and independent oil companies with the relevant expertise to take a play in the development of its fledgling shale industry so that the bonanza that is shale can benefit the economy.
