The Future of Oil & Gas in South America

South America is a key global force in oil and gas, with plenty of room to grow. The region has rich reserves, complex formations, and a growing base of skilled operators. The foundation is strong and development is picking up speed, but what’s missing isn’t opportunity, it's tried and tested technology that drives efficient and reliable results.

Much of South America hasn’t had access to the advanced services that have shaped the U.S. drilling industry. Without the right data upfront, even top-tier formations underperform. To move forward, teams need deeper insight, smarter planning, and better technology to match the ongoing competition entering the market.

The Untapped Potential in Brazil and Argentina

Across very different terrains and challenges, both countries are moving full speed in the evolving South American market. From Brazil’s offshore pre-salt fields to Argentina’s vast Vaca Muerta formations, the potential is undeniable, and the opportunity for growth is strong.

But the question isn’t the ground itself. It’s the technology, tools, and insight needed to fully unlock what’s below. The resources are there, but with our years of drilling, we know the crucial next steps and challenges these regions will face to unlocking success.

The Next Step Forward

To stay competitive in Brazil and Argentina, the next step is clear: close the gap between strong geology and stronger results. Teams here are facing a battle on several fronts: tight rock systems, unpredictable production, and a lack of proven services designed for these challenges.

What’s needed now:

• Tackle the complexity of tight rock reservoirs with deeper intel.
  
• Solve for high variability in GOR, EUR, and production performance.
  
• Equip teams with advanced services that have driven success in similar landscapes.
