The Market’s Revenge on Energy Statism
Argentina's energy sector is undergoing significant changes under President Javier Milei, who advocates for deregulation and market-driven policies. The country's vast shale reserves, particularly in Vaca Muerta, have remained largely untapped due to previous government actions that stifled investment. With new incentives in place, including the RIGI program, capital is beginning to flow back into the sector, signaling a potential transformation in Argentina's energy landscape.
- ▪Argentina possesses the world's second-largest reserves of shale gas and the fourth-largest of shale oil in the Vaca Muerta basin.
- ▪President Javier Milei has implemented deregulation and opened the energy sector to foreign investment.
- ▪YPF has announced a $25 billion project to drill 1,152 wells in Vaca Muerta, aiming for significant oil exports and job creation.

Beneath the soil of Patagonia, in the province of Neuquén, lies a 30,000 km geological basin known as Vaca Muerta — “the Dead Cow.” According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, it holds the world’s second-largest reserves of shale gas and the fourth-largest of shale oil.
