About Us
We are an Argentine energy company engaged in the exploration and production of hydrocarbons, as well as in natural gas transportation. With over 100 years of history, we are committed to creating sustainable value for our team, communities, suppliers, shareholders, and customers, contributing to Argentina’s development.
Our upstream operations take place in Argentina’s main producing basins: Austral and Golfo San Jorge (Santa Cruz Province), Northwest (Salta Province), Neuquén (Neuquén Province), and Austral Offshore (off the coast of Tierra del Fuego). We operate both through our own concessions and in joint ventures with other companies, concentrating our main reserves in these regions.
In the midstream segment, we are co-controlling shareholders of TGN and GasAndes, and we also hold an interest in TGM. Through these assets, we strengthen gas infrastructure and ensure efficient transportation in both Argentina and Chile, contributing to regional energy integration.
We are part of Corporación América, an Argentine holding company with a presence in strategic sectors such as energy, infrastructure, airports, agribusiness, and technology. This affiliation reinforces our role as a key player in Argentina’s economic and energy development.
