Interactive map of industrial development in Vaca Muerta, with hydrocarbon areas, concessions, fields, infrastructure and observed production activity.
What does the Vaca Muerta map show?
An interactive view of the hydrocarbon and industrial territory of Vaca Muerta in Neuquén, Argentina. Explore official areas, concessions, fields, trunk pipelines, plants, observed well activity and localities — without exposing individual wells.
Hydrocarbon areas
Official hydrocarbon area polygons from Neuquén province, including unconventional development zones.
234 areas
Concessions
National exploitation concessions published by Argentina's Secretaría de Energía within the Vaca Muerta corridor.
16 concessions
Fields
Published field (yacimiento) footprints linked to the official crosswalk where available.
46 fields
Activity and observed wells
Aggregated well clusters show observed production density — spatial groupings, not individual well locations.
48 clusters
Infrastructure
Trunk oil and gas pipelines plus industrial plants from official public datasets.
102 oil · 38 gas · 180 plants
Localities
Cities and towns in the Vaca Muerta corridor with links to directory profiles where published.
84 localities
Companies and projects
The map connects to AltoValleIT's industrial directory: operators, suppliers, projects and services documented in the Vaca Muerta ecosystem.
Data and sources
AltoValleIT publishes this interactive experience. Official cartography comes from public government datasets — not from AltoValleIT.

Methodology
This map combines official public cartography with AltoValleIT's industrial directory. We publish what datasets define — and we do not infer relationships that are not documented.
How the map is built — Official polygons, lines and points are loaded from published government datasets, normalized to a single coordinate system and rendered on terrain.
Official relationship — When the map links a field to a concession or area, that connection comes from published crosswalks — not from editorial guesswork.
Field (yacimiento) — A published field footprint from official hydrocarbon cartography — the spatial unit used in public datasets.
Concession — National exploitation concessions published by Argentina's Secretaría de Energía within the Vaca Muerta corridor.
Hydrocarbon area — Official hydrocarbon area polygons from Neuquén province, including unconventional development zones.
Well activity — Aggregated well clusters show observed production density — spatial groupings, not individual well locations.
What we do not infer — We do not claim operators, ownership or production volumes unless they appear in a published official or directory source.
Map guide
Official cartography
Hydrocarbon areas, fields, concessions and localities come from public government datasets — physical territory only.
Industrial directory
Companies and projects open the ecosystem search and directory profiles. The directory is broader than cartographic operator joins.
