Transport to
Vaca Muerta
and Neuquén.
From Mendoza to Añelo, Rincón de los Sauces, Loma Campana and the entire Neuquina basin. Frac sand, equipment DTM, chemicals and supply for unconventional operations.
Neuquén and Vaca Muerta:
Argentina's greatest
logistics demand.
The Vaca Muerta formation is the world's second-largest unconventional gas and fourth-largest unconventional oil reserve. Its development requires a complex, constant and error-free logistics chain.
From Mendoza we operate the corridor to Neuquén with own fleet and permits for critical loads. The Mendoza–Añelo transit is approximately 8 hours via Route 40, making Mendoza a strategic logistics base for the basin.
The largest shale oil and gas formation in the southern hemisphere. Vaca Muerta alone equals the size of Belgium in productive extent.
YPF and international operator investment plans make Neuquén Latin America's largest energy hub.
Each well demands between 800 and 1,500 tonnes of frac sand. Logistics never stops.
Strategic Route 40 corridor connecting our base to the heart of the Neuquina basin.
Operators present in the basin
What we transport
to Vaca Muerta.
Critical loads for unconventional operations, with the permits and operational experience the energy sector demands.
Frac sand (proppants)
Transport of frac sand from central Argentina plants to Vaca Muerta pads. Thousands of monthly tonnes with high-frequency logistics.
Drilling rig DTM
Disassembly, transport and assembly of drilling and workover rigs. High-complexity operations with specialized coordination.
Hydraulic fracturing chemicals
Transport of acids, inhibitors, gelling agents and additives under ADR regulations with valid hazardous cargo permits.
Modules & camps
Transport and installation of residential, sanitary and command modules for remote camps in the basin.
Supplies & consumables
Supply of critical inputs for continuous operations: pipes, valves, spare parts, tools and process materials.
Infrastructure & energy
Electrical equipment, generators, transformers and infrastructure components for developing new areas.
Neuquina Basin
zone by zone.
Each zone in the basin has its own dynamics, access routes and logistics demands. We know them firsthand.
Añelo
Capital of Argentine unconventional oil.
Logistics epicenter of Vaca Muerta. Añelo concentrates the highest density of active wells, camps and operational bases of the main operators. High demand for frac sand, chemicals and equipment.
Rincón de los Sauces
Conventional oil city and northern Neuquina hub.
Conventional production zone with strong servicing activity. Important corridor toward the northern Neuquina basin. Constant demand for supplies, equipment and provisioning.
Loma Campana
The largest shale oil field in the southern hemisphere.
YPF and Chevron operate the central area of Vaca Muerta. High density of pad drilling, demand for thousands of monthly tonnes of frac sand and drilling equipment logistics (DTM).
Buta Ranquil
Key productive zone on the Mendoza border.
Conventional production area and entry point from the Mendoza–Neuquén corridor via Route 40. Strategic as a resupply point and for long-distance operations.
Neuquén City
Logistics hub and basin operations center.
Headquarters of the main operators and services companies. Distribution hub to the entire basin. Origin point for high-value loads and specialized equipment.
Zapala
Logistics hub for western Neuquén and Route 40.
Strategic city at the intersection of provincial routes. Supply point for southern basin operations and connection to Mendoza via National Route 40.

Can you transport frac sand (proppants) to Vaca Muerta?
Yes. Frac sand transport is one of the highest-volume loads in the basin. We operate from sand plants to pads in Añelo, Loma Campana and adjacent zones. Contact us about frequencies and volumes.
What is DTM and how do you operate it?
DTM is the Disassembly, Transport and Assembly process for drilling or workover equipment. It requires specialized coordination, special load permits and certified drivers for oversized loads. We evaluate each DTM operation specifically.
Are you permitted to transport fracking chemicals?
We operate hazardous loads under ADR/IMO classification with current CNRT permits. For specific fracking chemicals (acids, inhibitors, biocides) we coordinate based on safety data sheets and product classification.
How long is the Mendoza–Añelo transit?
The Mendoza–Añelo route via National Route 40 is approximately 600 km and 7–8 hours under normal conditions. The route is fully paved and is the natural corridor from our Maipú base.
Can you handle high-frequency operations with multiple units?
Yes. For high-frequency operations (sand supply, drilling campaign inputs) we coordinate multiple-fleet dispatch with weekly scheduling. Contact us with volume, origin and required frequency.
