| Sumario: | By the end of 2002, Argentina began a remarkable cycle of recovery and subsequent economic growth. Given the maturity of conventional onshore fields exploited throughout the XX century, it soon became evident that domestic hydrocarbons production would face severe difficulties to guarantee the internal energy supply. As a response, during the first years of the “postconvertibility” regime, State intervention promoted offshore exploration and drilling in the continental margin. This article analyses the public policies designed and implemented to that end between the years 2002 and 2011. We have appealed to a mixed methodological strategy which triangulated different data collection and analysis techniques from primary and secondary sources. Among its results, the paper shows the limits of State intervention against the neoliberal legacy and the demands of oil companies. |
