Running to avoid falling
For the country's oil production not to decline, over the next twelve months it takes drilling, fracturing and hooking up 432 new wells in Vaca Muerta.
And every ton of sand yields less: a 2018–2022 well produced between 27 and 29 barrels per ton of pumped sand in its first year. The 2025 wells, 21. Sand per well rose 42% and first-year oil is still around 240 thousand barrels.

Catalog
What are you looking for?
Not all the same
Every company, with its own way of working
For a small or mid-sized business, buying from a manufacturer is not the same as buying from a trader, nor is hiring an EPC contractor the same as hiring a civil works company or a one-off service. On faufena each category tells you how the company works.
Materials · how they sell it
Exclusive distributor
The only distributor of that brand in the country or region.
Authorized distributor
Resells a brand with the manufacturer's authorization.
Manufacturer
Produces it in series or from its own catalog.
Fabrication shop
Fabricates to order, with its own engineering, with no catalog product.
Stockist (permanent own stock)
Holds its own permanent stock in Argentina: sells it to you duty-paid, in pesos and with an invoice.
Importer
No stock: imports to order and delivers it duty-paid in Argentina, invoiced and charged in pesos.
Trader
Delivers it abroad (FOB, CFR or another term): you handle the import.
Services · what type of service they provide
Specialized service
Does a specific technical job on site, at a plant or at a well: cranes, scaffolding, insulation, non-destructive testing. Does not take on the whole project or subcontract.
Support service
Provides general services to the operation: personnel transportation, meals, laundry, pre-employment medical exams. Not necessarily specific to the industry.
Construction · what part of the project they do
EPC (turnkey)
Does the engineering, procurement and construction: delivers the project turnkey.
Procurement and construction
Buys the materials and builds. Engineering is provided by the client or a third party.
Engineering only
Does conceptual, basic or detail engineering, without building.
Electromechanical construction
Builds the whole project (mechanical, piping, electrical and instrumentation) with client-supplied materials.
Civil works
Does only the civil part: earthworks, foundations, concrete, sheds and roads.
Mechanical construction
