The works, milestone by milestone
We have not built this project’s timeline. Dated milestones with their source close it.
Who already has a contract
The project has been filed under the RIGI and has not been approved yet. Construction awards come later.

Technical audit for the carried partner: representing GyP's 10%
mediumThe state company Gas y Petróleo del Neuquén comes in as a minority partner without an equivalent operating outlay, which means its result depends entirely on the costs the operator declares. A carried partner that does not audit signs whatever it is handed. With GyP holding stakes in fourteen unconventional concessions, technical audit of costs, cost recovery and investment programs on behalf of the minority partner is a recurring service with a built-in conflict of interest: it cannot be provided by whoever already works for the operator. No niche on the map covers it.
Treatment capacity for 12 million cubic meters per day of associated gas
mediumThe project declares a peak of 100,000 barrels per day but also of 12 million cubic meters per day of gas, and that associated gas is not a by-product that can be deferred: if there is nowhere to separate and condition it, the constraint ends up falling on the oil, which is what pays. The province already has the gas treatment and compression niche measured, but this project does not yet appear among those feeding it, and the committed volume is among the largest in the portfolio. The window is construction, not operation.
- How to become a supplier — We have not built this project’s entry map. It is our gap, not a prohibition: it closes by opening the provincial register and the operator’s single window.
- What it will buy, and when — We have not built this project’s phase → demand chain: its schedule still has to be crossed with the province’s catalog of markets and trades.

What it leaves in Neuquénjobs, works, taxes, promises and the outlook
The works that stay behind
The project has been filed under the RIGI and has not been approved yet. Permanent works are documented once construction starts.
What it already pays in taxes and royalties
The project has been filed under the RIGI and has not been approved yet. Royalties and production taxes begin with operation.
Who promised what
We have not surveyed the public promises about this project. A dated, verifiable commitment with its source closes them.
What could stall itrisks and how to track them
- What could stall it — We have not documented this project’s risks. An identifiable vector with its source closes them.
- How to tell whether it is advancing — We have not defined this project’s indicators: what observable fact marks its progress still has to be identified.

The RIGI act, in detail
The project has been filed under the RIGI and has not been approved yet. The instrument is published in the Boletín Oficial once the Committee approves the accession.
What we could not confirm
There are 1 in this project. Each says why it could not be confirmed and what it would take to close it.

The schedule of a RIGI project is read in the recitals of its admission resolution, and this project has no resolution published in the Official Gazette yet: it has been filed or announced, not approved. What circulates in the press are tentative company dates, with no act fixing them.
