Chevron Corp. applied June 2 to join Argentina’s Large Investment Incentive Regime (RIGI) for a $13.8-billion unconventional oil development at its 100% operated El Trapial-Este block in northern Neuquén province.

Alberto Weretilneck confirmed the filing days later during a public event. “Continental submitted a private initiative for Lago Pellegrini, called La Huella, which is the easternmost Vaca Muerta area so far,” he said.
