(WO) — The Argentina-Texas Chamber of Commerce (ATCC) will bring U.S. energy companies, investors and technology providers together with operators and buyers in Argentina’s Vaca Muerta shale region through an October trade mission in Neuquén.
The Energy Trade Mission – Neuquén Edition 2026 will run Oct. 18–22 alongside AOG Patagonia 2026, with a business-to-business matchmaking program designed to connect participating U.S. companies with Argentine companies seeking specific capabilities, technologies and services.
Participants will submit profiles detailing their capabilities, certifications, geographic reach and business priorities, while buyers will identify their procurement needs. ATCC will use the information to arrange individual 15-minute meetings between potential business partners.
The matchmaking session is scheduled for Oct. 21 at the Neuquén Science and Technology Hub. Discussions are expected to cover procurement, partnerships, joint ventures, supply-chain integration and investment opportunities.
ATCC said continued development of Vaca Muerta is generating demand beyond traditional oilfield services, including infrastructure, financing, logistics, industrial equipment and digital technologies.
The broader mission will also include discussions on financing large-scale Vaca Muerta energy projects, international capital and risk-mitigation tools, as well as industrial capabilities and digital transformation.
The mission coincides with AOG Patagonia 2026, which is expected to bring more than 400 exhibiting brands and 17,000 industry professionals to Neuquén.
Applications for the ATCC matchmaking program are open through Sept. 30.
