Shale Oil and Shale Gas in Argentina. State of Situation and Prospective

In the last years, a large number of articles, interviews, proposals and announcements have been published about topics on non-conventional hydrocarbons (mainly shale oil and shale gas), both at the international level and in Argentina. The high speed of circulation in which such information circulates, it is modified and renewed, does not sometimes allow to get a firm notion of the meaning of the shale phenomenon and even less, to establish which would be their impacts in the economy, the safety of the supply and the requirements of investments for its development. This document aims to systematize and analyze information on the subject of unconventional hydrocarbons (shale oil and shale gas), mainly its resources and reserves and also present prospective exploratory scenarios for Argentina (of its own elaboration), where the supply and demand is analyzed for oil and gas, with the aim of finally obtaining some conclusions and finally proposing a possible road map.
