Argentina redefines its energy map: from resource to operational intelligence
Argentina’s energy landscape is at a turning point. With the expansion of Vaca Muerta as a leading unconventional reservoir, the growth of renewable energy sources, and the need to optimise production infrastructure, the country is redefining its national energy map. Today, understanding the key areas where industrial activity takes place is essential for planning the future.
From resources to efficiency: An expanding network
Argentina has one of the most diverse energy matrices in the region, integrating hydrocarbons, hydroelectric, nuclear, wind, solar and biogas — all coexisting within a system that supplies over 45 million people.
However, the challenge is not only to produce more, but to produce better — with fewer losses, greater control, and smarter asset management. According to the Argentine Institute of Oil and Gas (IAPG), over 65% of current hydrocarbon production comes from unconventional basins, demanding new models for monitoring, maintenance, and safety.
At the same time, the expansion of renewable energy parks across several provinces is reshaping production hubs and diversifying the national energy system. Today, renewable sources already exceed 5,500 MW of installed capacity — mainly wind and solar — and continue to grow with projects distributed from Buenos Aires to Jujuy.

Technology connecting territories
Every energy asset requires constant inspection, maintenance, and analysis. But doing this in a traditional way — in a country spanning more than 2.7 million km² — presents major logistical challenges, high costs, and operational risks. This is where technology becomes a bridge.
At Uali, by combining robotics, artificial intelligence, and IoT, we provide an integrated view of industrial and infrastructure assets, regardless of their type. Our autonomous drones, capable of inspecting vast areas in a short time, capture thousands of images that our AI models process into actionable information within our management platform.
This allows energy companies to overcome distance barriers, transforming their operations into a connected data network.

Towards a more integrated and sustainable energy system**
Digital transformation in Argentina’s energy sector not only improves efficiency but also reduces environmental impact. Each drone flight replaces ground travel, cutting emissions and improving team safety. In addition, the data collected enables early fault detection and extends the lifespan of infrastructure.
At Uali, we work every day to make this connection possible — ensuring that every kilometre inspected, every image processed, and every data-driven decision contributes to building a more efficient, safer, and more sustainable energy industry for everyone.
