Bolivia eyes own Vaca Muerta: report
“I think that in the coming weeks, we will deliver an important announcement that Bolivia has a ‘Vaca Muerta’ that is larger [than that in Argentina],” Spanish daily El Pais quoted Bolivian Minister of Hydrocarbons Luis Sanchez as saying following a Cabinet meeting.
No further details were provided in the report, though Sanchez also cited recent studies according to which the Madre de Dios River Basin holds 340 bcm-3.4 tcm (12-120 tcf) of gas and up to 40 billion barrels of oil.
