BGX – Black Gold Exploration, a leading oil exploration company in Argentina, is pleased to recognize the significant changes unfolding in the nation's economic and regulatory landscape with the incoming government's decision to reduce price controls on the oil sectori. This monumental shift heralds a new era of opportunity, growth, and sustainable development.

The reduction of price controls is a crucial step forward in aligning Argentina’s oil market with global economic principles. This policy shift allows for more flexible, market-driven pricing that is essential for the health and expansion of the oil sector and environmental protection and sustainability. It enables companies like ours to plan with greater certainty, invest confidently in exploration and production activities.

The new government’s approach promises to invigorate the industry by fostering a more competitive environment and respect for international rule of law. This is not only beneficial for oil companies but also for the entire Argentine economy.

“As market constraints loosen, we are well situated to introduce more innovative and efficient exploration and extraction technologies. These advancements are crucial for minimizing environmental impact, reducing operational costs, and enhancing safety measures, all while increasing production capacity in the active oil producing region we are operating, where over 4 billion barrels of oil have been produced to date”, stated Francisco Gulisano, the Chief Executive Officer of BGX.

BGX looks forward to a productive dialogue with all stakeholders, including the government, local communities, and our industry peers, to ensure that the benefits of these policy changes are realized, for our local stakeholders, and shareholders.
