  • The document examines the expansion of fracking in the Vaca Muerta formation, highlighting a critical gap between national economic goals and local environmental protection. It introduces the OBSERVAR geospatial platform to map risks, such as the proximity of 3,017 wells to sensitive water and population centers. The brief finds that while Neuquén has a more structured regulatory framework than Río Negro, both provinces suffer from inadequate enforcement and a lack of transparent data, with approximately 80% of fracking wastewater remaining unaccounted for. It argues for a watershed-based approach to regulation to address cross-border contamination risks.
