Harold Hamm’s Continental Resources To Buy Oil Assets In Argentina

Continental Resources expands its footprint in the Vaca Muerta shale with Pan American Energy's non-operated stakes in four blocks, leveraging fracking expertise in Argentina.

  • Bloomberg reported on Monday that Continental Resources will buy Pan American Energy's non-operated interests in four Vaca Muerta blocks, expanding its presence in Argentina's Neuquén Basin.
  • Continental says the deal aligns with its push to evaluate global opportunities and strengthen its footprint in world-class unconventional basins, taking a long-term view of resource development and enabling shared subsurface characterization and development planning with Pan American Energy.
  • Continental's track record shows it pioneered fracking, went private under Harold Hamm in 2022, and reported 500,000 BOEPD, nearly 3 billion barrels equivalent, and more than 5,200 operated wells.
  • Continental said the deal is a milestone that advances its momentum in Vaca Muerta, with Lawler adding `These recent transactions in Argentina strengthen Continental's long-term value strategy: participating in world-class resources here and abroad, accelerating basin learning through ongoing development exposure, and applying that knowledge to drive robust results over time`.
  • Vaca Muerta is projected to reach 1 million barrels per day by 2030, while Argentina, Brazil and Guyana are expected to supply nearly 60% of new oil capacity by then.
