What Peter Thiel saw in Vista Energy – “the PRIO of Argentina”

Peter Thiel has invested $76 million in Argentine oil company Vista Energy, acquiring around 1% of the company. Vista Energy is a major player in the Vaca Muerta shale reserves in Argentina's Neuquén Basin, a significant new frontier for oil and gas production. The company's stock has risen 390% in dollars since early 2023, driven by investor optimism surrounding President Javier Milei and increased local oil production.

Vista Energy's founder and CEO is Miguel Galuccio, who previously led state-owned YPF, and the company has invested over $6.5 billion with reserves of 588 million barrels and current production of 156,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day.
