Wow. Another story about shortages from the head chopping wonderland of Mendoza. I mean, what's there to strike over? It's a paradise! ;)

But everything is OK, just trust me!

Everything is going according to plan in Argentina, when CFK leaves the walls will come tumbling down. God help the next Presidente of Argentina and I mean that with sincerity.

My guess, and the reason they didn't publish the data, is that this is not an overall increase but merely the added production from the wells they purchased last year.

If they really increased production why oh why are they still importing more O/G?

Its also kind of embarrassing they're still talking about VM, hopin' and a dreamin' is more like it. Nobody is going to put U$ into that dog while the price of oil is still going lower.

Rgs are such delusional creatures.

7. Yeah, they're Rgs so I'm sure they're already cooking the books and putting out false numbers.
They already can't float bonds or offer stock sales.
They'll probably run out of U$ by next year.

@9 I agree with you. There is no way anyone is going to invest in new oil fields anytime soon, Here or in the Falklands.

10. The investments depend on more than just the price of oil, they depend on how far along you are in the exploration and what you've committed to by contract. Often times you must keep on plugging along because it may cost more to shut everything down than pough ahead.
VM never had a chance to get off the ground. I doubt you'll see anything going on there for a couple decades. Argentina has to prove it will honor contracts before anyone will dip a toe in that water and it will take awhile before people forget.
Arg biggest problem will be to keep YPF viable and listed on NYSE. I bet its delisted soon. Rgs are incapable of running a company according to worldwide accepted accounting/notification practices. My bet is the numbers they are announcing in Arg are false and they won't be able to hide it for much longer.

i don't know what kind of contracts the Falklands have with their producers so I really can't comment on them but large companies won't want to lose their concessions and write it off if its only a few million to keep it going.
