Exploration & Production (‘E&P’)
Pampa is one of the leading hydrocarbon E&P companies in Argentina, with a presence in the country’s major basins, from which it obtains natural gas and crude oil. As of first quarter of 2022 (Q1 22):
- The production level reached 57.5 thousand boe/d (barrels of oil equivalent per day), corresponding 91% to natural gas and 9% to crude oil
- The 315 million cubic feet per day of natural gas production mainly comes from ‘El Mangrullo’, ‘Rincón del Mangrullo’, ‘Río Neuquén’ and ‘Sierra Chata’ blocks and it was sold at an average price of US$3.5/million BTU
Moreover, Pampa’s total proven reserves (‘P1’), developed and undeveloped, as of December 31, 2021 is 157 million boe, corresponding 92% to natural gas and 8% to liquids. These P1 reserves are 100% located in Argentina, being 61% developed and 39% undeveloped:
Proved reserves category (‘P1’) | Crude oil, condensate and NGL (in thousand barrels) |
