The firm Halliburton and Pampa Energía have consolidated a multi-year agreement aimed at structuring the digital transformation of their unconventional fields in the Vaca Muerta formation. This region is currently positioned as one of the most significant shale reserves globally. Through this strategic project, the operating firm seeks to increase its production efficiency, optimize operational management, and ensure integrated execution between subsurface areas and field operations.
Pampa Energía and Halliburton technologies for shale development
Consequently, technical cooperation will focus on the integration of rigorous data, automation models, and industrial-scale artificial intelligence into daily workflows. Tony Antoun, Senior Vice President of Landmark at Halliburton, stated that the primary goal lies in processing analytical information rapidly to streamline strategic decision-making. Additionally, the digitalization plan includes the use of data governance tools to enhance the profitability and technical performance of energy assets in the long term.
Regarding corporate goals, the digital infrastructure will support Pampa Energía’s projection to increase its production to 45,000 barrels per day by 2027. The operational work scheme extends to critical areas such as systems orchestration, three-dimensional reservoir modeling, logistics process optimization, and energy efficiency management. Likewise, the program establishes the structural foundation necessary to execute future technological expansions as drilling activities and fracturing intensify in the Neuquén Basin.
In this way, the support provided seeks to ensure the consistency of invested capital through a scalable platform adaptable to unconventional market variables. Halliburton’s engineering models will provide solutions configured to intertwine applied science with large-scale corporate processes.
