Upstream Operations

Two producing oil fields in the heart of Patagonia.

Petrolera Patagonia The upstream division of IPP Ltd — operator of the Alberto and Don Ernesto concessions since 2010.

Golfo San Jorge Basin

Over a century of continuous production.

IPP Oil & Gas operates the Alberto and Don Ernesto concessions in the Golfo San Jorge Basin, Province of Chubut, Argentina — located approximately 5 kilometers from the city of Comodoro Rivadavia. Hydrocarbon extraction in these fields began in 1919, making them among the longest continuously producing concessions in Argentina.

Our two concessions.

Alberto Field — Golfo San Jorge Basin

Field Alberto

Alberto Field

The Alberto concession covers approximately 197 hectares in the central northern flank of the Golfo San Jorge Basin. With 132 wells drilled throughout its history, the field contains certified proven reserves and benefits from fully developed operational infrastructure including electrical substations and direct pipeline access to regional export terminals.

Don Ernesto Field — Golfo San Jorge Basin

Field Don Ernesto

Don Ernesto Field

The Don Ernesto concession covers approximately 99 hectares, with 159 wells drilled during its production history. The field shares the geological characteristics of the Golfo San Jorge Basin, with reservoirs located at approximately 2,000 meters depth within proven productive formations including Mina El Carmen, Comodoro Rivadavia, and Salamanca.

Infrastructure

Established infrastructure supporting immediate production.

Electrical

Both fields are connected to the regional 13.2 kV high-voltage network through four 500 KVA substations, operating at approximately 10% of installed capacity.

Gas

Each field contains gas separation facilities with a combined capacity of approximately 50,000 cubic meters per day, connected directly to the Camuzzi Gas del Sur trunk pipeline.

Oil Pipeline

Crude oil is transported through an 8-inch pipeline to the Kilómetro 9 storage facility, connecting to a 14-inch trunk line with direct access to the TERMAP export terminal at Caleta Córdova.

Special Regime

Our concessions operate under Argentina's historic Mining Code, a unique legal framework that provides perpetual ownership rights and exceptional fiscal advantages compared to conventional hydrocarbon operators.
