AMERICAS OIL: Malaysia’s Petronas Eyes Exit from Vaca Muerta

Mar-13 17:16

Malaysia’s Petronas is evaluating a sale of its oil asset in Argentina, a move that would complete its exit from the Vaca Muerta shale play.

  • It follows as several international drillers look to divest from the region.
  • Equinor is also eyeing an exit from Argentina, while Total said this week that it would sell if it could reap the sort of rich valuations that Exxon got, Bloomberg said.
  • This would leave the shale play mainly to domestic companies.
