The facility, planned for the company's Rincon de Aranda field in the Neuquen province, is expected to start operating next year, with crude oil exports valued at about $1.2 billion set to start in 2027.
The project includes a Central Processing Facility (CPF), pipelines, storage terminals, and other infrastructure, and will connect to the Vaca Muerta Sur oil pipeline and Perito Moreno gas pipeline, the company added.
Pampa said the plant is part of a broader $1.5 billion development plan aimed at scaling up production tenfold at Rincon de Aranda.

"KKR has been actively monitoring the agricultural infrastructure space as a high-conviction thematic," Andrew Jennings, managing director and head of Australia & New Zealand infrastructure at KKR, said in a statement. KKR will make the investment in ProTen from its Asia Pacific Infrastructure Investors II Fund, which has grown its assets under management to about $13 billion since it was established in 2019. The deal is expected to close later this year, subject to regulatory approvals.

Germany launches additional measures against Russia's 'shadow fleet'
BERLIN, July 1 (Reuters) - Germany has pledged additional measures to further counter Russia's so-called "shadow fleet" operating in the Baltic and North Sea, the foreign ministry said on Tuesday in a statement. Western sanctions aimed at cutting Russia's oil revenues following its invasion of Ukraine have led to the rise of a vast "shadow fleet" of tankers that helps Moscow to keep its crude exports flowing. From Tuesday German authorities have begun questioning passing tankers about their insurance coverage against oil pollution damage, the foreign ministry said, adding that the insurance coverage of "shadow fleet" vessels is often unknown, as they avoid reputable insurers and European ports. "Our goal is very clear: We are increasing the pressure on the Russian shadow fleet and protecting the Baltic Sea," German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul in the statement.

Oil prices little changed as investors look ahead to OPEC+ meeting
SINGAPORE, July 2 (Reuters) - Oil futures were little changed on Wednesday as investors are wary ahead of a meeting of major producers this week to determine output levels for August. Brent crude was up 1 cent at $67.12 a barrel at 0124 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude fell 5 cents to $65.40 a barrel. Demand expectations received a boost on Tuesday after a private-sector survey showed factory activity expanded in June in China, the world's biggest oil importer, analysts said. Since Iran and Israel have halted attacks on each other following their 12-day conflict, Brent has traded between a high of $69.04 a barrel and low of $66.34 since June 25, as concerns of supply disruptions in the Middle East producing region have ebbed. "Oil prices seem to be in a tight range as we've seen a reduction in geopolitical risk and nerves about what OPEC may do in regards to raising production," said Phil Flynn, senior analyst with the Price Futures Group. Price have been kept in check by expectations that the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies including Russia, know as OPEC+, will boost its August crude oil output by an amount similar to the outsized hikes agreed in May, June, and July. Four OPEC+ sources told Reuters last week the group plans to raise output by 411,000 barrels per day next month when it meets on July 6. The market is already seeing the results of the previous OPEC+ increases with Saudi Arabia, the world's biggest oil exporter, lifting shipments in June by 450,000 bpd from May, according to data from Kpler, its highest in more than a year. In the U.S., crude oil inventories rose by 680,000 barrels in the past week, according to sources citing figures from the American Petroleum Institute. Official data from the Energy Information Administration is due Wednesday at 10:30 a.m. ET. U.S. non-farm payrolls data due on Thursday will shape expectations around the depth and timing of interest rate cuts by the federal reserve in the second half of this year, said Tony Sycamore, analyst at IG. Lower interest rates could spur economic activity which would in turn boost oil demand. Investors are also watching trade negotiations ahead of U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff deadline of July 9. Trump on Tuesday said he is not thinking of extending the deadline.
