“We are connecting Argentina to the world and freeing up the possibility of exporting at least 200,000 barrels of oil a day in one year,” added the governor of Neuquén, who in turn highlighted that exports increased by approximately 20% this last year, with the main destination the United States.
“Vaca Muerta is a State policy, but there are policies that also generate work from the development of Vaca Muerta, which is why the plans that companies are carrying out with innovation, science and technology in the place are also important”Gutierrez stressed.
