Argentina

Our Argentina activities

In Argentina, we are a major supplier of energy and one of the country’s top producers of natural gas. We have been active in Argentina for more than four decades and have a long-term operator partnership through Total.

Harbour Energy is active in the province of Neuquén in central Argentina, as well as onshore and offshore Tierra del Fuego in the south of Argentina.

Off the coast of Tierra del Fuego, Harbour has an interest in the CMA-1 (Cuenca Marina Austral 1) concession which forms the backbone of the country's energy supply. Today, around 16 per cent of Argentina's natural gas is produced from the CMA-1 concession which includes the Carina, Aries, Vega Pléyade and other smaller fields.

In the Neuquén province, we have interests in the Total-operated Aguada Pichana Este (APE) and San Roque concessions. We are producing gas from the conventional reservoirs and from the Vaca Muerta shale gas play in APE. Development activities in APE are focused on the Vaca Muerta shale formation. Harbour is currently producing from conventional plays within the San Roque concession and, together with its partners, is evaluating options to proceed with the development of the Vaca Muerta formation.

FÉNIX – a key energy project

In the CMA-1 concession, with operator TotalEnergies and partner Pan American Energy, we are developing the offshore Fénix field. Fénix is the latest incremental development project in the CMA-1 concession and is expected to deliver significant volumes of natural gas for more than 15 years. Production started in September 2024.
