Argentina, in terms of the exploration/production potential involved, has opened three types of areas to the international industry: (1) areas of secondary interest (marginal fields); (2) Yacimientos Petroliferos Fiscales SA's (YPF) central fields; and (3) exploitation and exploration association contract areas. The areas differ by the oil and gas potential included in each, the resultant contract terms, and the difference in risk involved in exploitation versus exploration targets. In this article, specific areas and fields are discussed, especially the oil and gas potential as expressed by past production, remaining reserves, and future potential.
