Description: VIST Vista Oil Gas January 08, 2026

Vista Energy, S.A.B. de C.V. (NYSE: VIST) is a Mexico-based E&P firm that focuses on oil and gas production in Latin America, with its flagship assets in Argentina’s Vaca Muerta shale play and additional producing fields in Mexico.

Since its incorporation in 2017 (formerly Vista Oil & Gas), the company has expanded drilling and work-over operations in Argentina, targeting higher recovery rates in the Neuquén Basin. In 2023 the firm reported net production of roughly 12 MMboe, with a reserve replacement ratio of 1.2×, indicating modest growth despite a volatile price environment.

Key economic drivers for Vista include regional crude price differentials (WTI-linked contracts dominate Argentine output) and the capital-intensive nature of shale development, with 2024 capex projected at $150 million to fund infill drilling and infrastructure upgrades. The broader E&P sector is currently pressured by rising financing costs and ESG scrutiny, which could affect Vista’s cost of capital and access to debt.
