據油氣雜志網站休斯頓報道，美國大陸菲利普斯公司（康菲公司/ConocoPhillips）日前與德國溫特斯豪Dea公司（Wintershall Dea）簽署了一項協議，收購后者位于阿根廷中部內烏肯省的兩個區塊（Aguada Federal區塊和Bandurria Norte區塊）的權益，并共同開發這兩個區塊。這兩個區塊在瓦卡姆爾塔頁巖層中蘊藏著非常規石油和天然氣資源。

康菲公司將獲得Aguada Federal 區塊的45%權益。擔任作業者的溫特斯豪Dea公司將保留該區塊45%的權益(97平方公里)。剩下的10%權益由內烏肯省石油公司(GYP)持有。康菲公司還將收購附近的Bandurria Norte區塊(105平方公里)50%的股份。溫特斯豪Dea公司保留50%的股份并擔任作業者。

溫特斯豪Dea公司已經在這兩個區塊內進行了試點項目，目前正在進行生產測試。

這筆交易預計將在今年年內完成，但需要得到相關部門的批準。
