Production reached a record of 916,200 barrels per day in July, with Vaca Muerta as the main driver and a year-on-year growth of 17.2% that strengthens exports and foreign exchange generation

The accumulated pace since the beginning of the year confirms the gap: between January and July of 2026, oil production in Neuquén skyrocketed by 7.8%, well above the national average of 3.2%.

The phenomenal development of Vaca Muerta has been made possible by improvements in productivity, scale, and the incorporation of new transportation infrastructure. Looking ahead, the agenda will focus on evacuation capacity, with key projects to expand pipelines and export terminals.

It is clear that, as the sector analysis states, "Argentina produces more oil than ever, but that growth is increasingly concentrated in Neuquén", laying the foundations for an energy powerhouse that will supply resources to every factory, SME, and corner of Argentine soil, including the long-neglected Province of Buenos Aires, which today envisions a future of prosperity thanks to the course set by the National Government

The National Energy Secretariat, under the leadership of the administration of Javier Milei, announced that during the month of July 2026, Argentina reached a new historical maximum in oil production. With an unprecedented national average of 916.2 thousand barrels per day (recording peaks of 912,966 barrels per day according to the updated spreadsheets), the country experienced a remarkable increase of 17.2% compared to the same month in 2025.

As the official industry reports indicate, "The data shows the continuity of growth in hydrocarbon production and reaffirms the positive trend of the energy industry, accompanied by a greater role of the private sector".

This energy resurgence immediately translates into financial sovereignty and genuine dollars for the Argentine economy, burying the fiscal deficit. During the first seven months of 2026, the increase in hydrocarbon extraction greatly strengthened the surplus of the energy trade balance, accumulating an impressive figure of over USD 6.8 billion in foreign currency.

The heart of this private revolution is the formation of unconventional resources in Vaca Muerta, where the extraction of shale oil reached 643.1 thousand barrels per day in July, consolidating a spectacular year-on-year increase of 26.4%.

Furthermore, natural gas production remained robust and stable with 158.8 million cubic meters per day nationwide, bolstered by the performance of Vaca Muerta, which contributed 96.5 million cubic meters per day, a 5.9% increase compared to the previous year.

Looking at the specific details of the production map, the absolute engine of this historical expansion is located in the province of Neuquén, which leads the structural change in the sector against the decline of monopolies and old regulations.

In July 2026, the Patagonian province broke its own record by contributing 658,639 barrels per day, representing 72.1% of the entire national production; that is, seven out of every ten barrels extracted in the country come from there.

To gauge the weight of this boom, while the total production of the country increased by only 2,476 barrels per day between June and July, Neuquén alone added 10,650 barrels per day in the same period, managing to offset the production decline recorded in neighboring provinces with mature conventional fields.
