WE HAVE A LEADING POSITION IN ARGENTINA WITH A CLEAR FOCUS ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF SHALE OIL IN VACA MUERTA.
Vista is a leading independent operator, with its main assets in Vaca Muerta, the largest shale oil and shale gas play under development outside North America. The company was listed as a SPAC in Mexico in 2017 and subsequently listed on the NYSE in 2019, after having purchased two companies with a full operating platform in Argentina in 2018.

Vista’s investment thesis is to develop its high-return shale oil drilling inventory of up to 1,150 wells spanning 205,600 Vaca Muerta acres, with focus on cost efficiency and lower carbon intensity production.

Since 2018, Vista ignited a strong growth trajectory, showing solid production results to date. By December 2023, the company had tied-in 99 wells in Vaca Muerta delivering best-in-basin productivity, proving the top-quality of its acreage and its growth capabilities.
