Continental Resources and Mercuria form joint venture in Vaca Muerta

Continental Resources and Mercuria Energy Group have announced a 50-50 joint venture in Phoenix Global Resources to expand operations in Argentina’s Vaca Muerta formation. The partnership plans to invest more than USD 4 billion over the next five years to increase production from the current 28,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd) to over 100,000 boepd.

The venture will manage approximately 163,000 net acres across six blocks, incorporating assets from Phoenix and shale oil interests from Integra Capital. This expansion follows Continental Resources' recent entry into the Argentine market through the acquisition of assets from Pluspetrol.

In a related development, Continental and Phoenix have submitted joint technical bids for six blocks in a recent international tender organized by the provincial company Gas y Petróleo del Neuquén (GyP).
