Vaca Muerta

Vaca Muerta is a large rock formation located underground in Argentina that contains significant reserves of shale oil and natural gas. These resources are trapped in layers of rock, and extracting them involves advanced drilling techniques like hydraulic fracturing ("fracking"). Vaca Muerta is considered one of the world's most important shale plays outside North America, offering Argentina the potential for energy independence and economic growth through increased production, energy exports, and job creation. Its development has attracted international investment, making it a key asset in Argentina's energy sector.
