Certainly vaca muerta has the potential to be a very good earner for Argentina, but Operators and Oilfield Service companies have to take a very big bet on Argentina's future and I'm not sure they're willing to.
Apparently foreign businesses that remained in Argentina are more interested in getting their money out and actually making a bit of money than piling new capital into a historically risky market.
Or at least that’s what’s happening in the oilfield sector from what I hear.
