    ExxonMobil awarded 35-year concession in Argentina’s Vaca Muerta

    ExxonMobil has been awarded a 35-year concession for another block in Vaca Muerta, a massive shale play that has been driving the company’s growth in oil and natural gas production in Argentina.

    The government of Neuquen, a southwestern province where most of the play is located, said late Aug. 13 that it granted ExxonMobil the concession for Los Toldos II Oeste, according to a statement. ExxonMobil is the operator of the block with a 90% stake, with the rest held by Gas y Petroleo del Neuquen, the province’s state oil company.

    As part of the concession, ExxonMobil vowed to drill and complete two wells during a four-year pilot program on the 19,200-acre block in the volatile oil window with the view to drilling 44 wells as part of the transition to full-scale development.
