Shale Veteran Takes On Argentina’s $6 Billion Shortfall: Energy
This article is for subscribers only.
Argentina is depending on two things to reverse a three-year energy shortfall that’s costing $6 billion a year: a shale formation bigger than Massachusetts and Miguel Galuccio, who has worked on drilling operations from North Dakota to Poland and India.
President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner appointed Galuccio chief executive officer of YPF SA in 2012 after she seized control from Spain’s Repsol SA. Since then, Galuccio has tripled investment in the state-run oil company in an effort to reverse a decline in output that’s led to crippling energy shortages and drove Argentina’s energy imports to record highs.
