Argentina — Energy Infrastructure

OverWatts maps 475 energy assets in Argentina across 11 layers — the 19th-largest mapped base of 157 countries. They include 203 oil & gas fields, 153 power plants and 69 pipelines. Operating generation capacity is 42.0 GW, led by gas at 52%. Refining capacity is about 629 kb/d.

The companies named on the most assets are YPF (91), Pan American Energy (35) and Pan American Energy SL (22), counting both ownership and operatorship. Half of Argentina's mapped assets in service predate 2010 (median commissioning year of the 215 with a known date), 80 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is Diadema (Chubut) - Compañías Asociadas Oil and Gas Asset (Chubut, Argentina), dating from 1925. 40+ projects are under construction or proposed, led by Gaucho wind farm (4.2 GW).
