Stewart-Gordon, T J

Argentina is actively seeking private capital and expertise from around the world. The objective is energy self-sufficiency by 1982 by bringing $5 billion of private investment to bear on exploration and production projects. This year, the government is launching a program aimed at medium-to-large independent US oil companies. Enhanced recovery technology from the US companies is to be coupled with Argentine capital and used on fields for which Argentina has neither the manpower nor the money to work. Onshore and offshore risk contracts are also available. The exploration results and production potential of 5 basins (San Jorge Gulf, Neuquen, Cuyana, Austral, and Northeast) are explained.
