Synopsis
“Crude Territory” is a series of 4 chapters that aproachs to different realities related to the extraction of hydrocarbons in the north of the Argentine Patagonia.
Chapter 1 – Fractured Natural AreaAuca Mahuida is a Natural Protected Area in the north of the province of Neuquén.
However, in its interior there are about 70 oil wells that affect it directly and contravene the very purpose of its creation: to preserve in perpetuity its valuable Patagonian flora and fauna. These risks were redoubled in 2013 when France’s Total made the first fracking well, which became the first forerunner of a natural fractured area in the world.
