The train for Vaca Muerta defines its route and costs

The development of a new train for Vaca Muerta emerges as an alternative to link production from the Neuquén formation with the Atlantic. The initiative seeks to improve the outflow of resources from Patagonia and expand the region's logistics options.

The project is still in a definition stage, with key aspects of the route and costs yet to be finalized. These factors will be decisive in assessing its feasibility and the impact it could have on the transport of production.

The rail connection would complement existing infrastructure and offer an additional route to move the volumes generated in Vaca Muerta. The goal is to strengthen the link between Patagonian production areas and the outlets toward the Atlantic Ocean.

The project is part of plans designed to support the growth of hydrocarbon activity in the basin. Its progress will depend on finalizing the route, the required investment, and the conditions for carrying out construction.
