Argentina Canada's Americas Petrogas made a shale-oil discovery in the Vaca Muerta play with its Los Toldos Este well, drilled in the Los Toldos II block. Americas Petrogas is exploring the Los Toldos II block alongside US supermajor ExxonMobil. The Los Toldos Este well was drilled vertically, intersecting a 343-metre thick section of the Vaca Muerta shale formation, and was hydraulically fractured in five stages. The well recorded an initial production rate of 797 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d), nearly 700 barrels of which was light oil. The 30-day flow rate was 309 boe/d.
