ExxonMobil gets green light for Argentinian shale development
Buenos Aires (Platts)--14 Dec 2015
The government of Neuquen, a southwestern province of Argentina, said Monday it has approved ExxonMobil's investment plan for developing shale resources in the Bajo el Choique and La Invernada blocks.
The company will work with Gas y Petroleo del Neuquen (GyP), the province's state-owned oil company, on the project to invest an initial $229 million in the delineation of the blocks, the government said in a statement.
This will consist of drilling five horizontal wells in the Vaca Muerta play with laterals of up to 2,500 meters (8,202 feet).
The companies will also build an oil separation and storage facility, a natural gas pipeline, among other infrastructure on the adjacent blocks, according to the province.
