Vista and Pampa Energía commit $10.3 billion to Vaca Muerta shale development under RIGI

Vista Energy and Pampa Energía have initiated or secured approval for over $10 billion in capital expenditure for Vaca Muerta shale projects under Argentina's RIGI investment incentive framework. The move signals significant private sector confidence in the long-term viability of the Vaca Muerta basin, though the ultimate realization of these projects remains subject to sustained regulatory stability and global commodity price fluctuations.
