In 2019 Equinor added eight offshore exploration blocks in Argentina to its portfolio.
Equinor were granted permits for five blocks as operator and participated in winning bids for one block to be operated by YPF and one block to be operated by Total, in the 1st Offshore Licensing Round in April 2019. In August the same year Equinor farmed into the CAN_100 block with YPF in the North and took over operatorship. Currently, Equinor and YPF hold 50% each.
The blocks are spread across various basins and plays and adds significant prospective acreage to Equinor’s exploration portfolio and fit with our exploration strategy, providing us with access at scale in basins with high impact potential.
