Industrial giant becom Completion of launch a Polymer injection plant (PIU) in the El Trébol-Escalante deposit, located in the Golfo San Jorge basin. It’s about to Area acquired from YPF who decided to leave Chubut Province by divesting of her traditional origins to devote herself to Vaca Muerta.
Private energy company, with more than 5000 employees in argentina, It is dedicated to the operation and provision of services, construction and products for the oil, gas, electric power and mining sectors, with operations in the country’s hydrocarbon basins and a regional presence in Brazil and Colombia..
As such, last year it accounted for 50% of traditional deposits Central Camp – Cañadón Perdido and El Trebol – Escalante in Chubut. The operation was carried out within the framework of YBF’s Andes Project, a divestment program for mature assets.
The company’s experience in developing and implementing high production impact projects comes after the company resumed its role as an oil operator in August 2024, 22 years after selling its assets to Petrobras.
Pecom has built a high recovery polymer plant
Investment in this new infrastructure exceeds US$8 million and its main objective is Increase oil extraction factor By injecting polymers But the drainage is part of a larger plan that, according to reports, will be total More than 70 million US dollars In this 2025.
Pecom invests in Chubut oil
This technology, which improves the reservoir scanning process and contributes to maintaining or increasing the region’s production, already has a history of successful application at the global level. The PIU includes advanced technology that allows it Remote operation and monitoringwhich improves its availability and use of associated resources.
The commissioning of this plant is part of the company’s strategy to enhance the productive growth of its assets. Jorge López Kessler, Director of Exploration and Production Operations at PECOM, said:We did not come to manage the natural decline curve of depositsRather, we actively work to develop production through advanced technologies.
Lopez Kessler added that the opening is a concrete example of this strategy and the company’s confidence in it Potential of the San Jorge Bay Basin. The Project Implementation Unit project is the result of integrating technical knowledge from three main areas of PECOM.
On the one hand, the Exploration and Development Area, which is responsible for development plans and determining the areas to be applied Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques.; On the other hand, engineering and construction, which is responsible for the design, engineering and assembly of the plant; Finally, Operations, which is responsible for the effective management of the deposit and the operation of the project execution unit.
In addition, the construction and assembly of the facility has enhanced collaboration with local suppliers. INCRO, a local SME, had a central role in engineering and assembly of the plant, and this approach reinforces A collaborative ecosystem that seeks to revitalize the value chain and contribute to regional development.
