Vista Energy’s Vaca Muerta Powerhouse — Production Heads Toward 170,000 BOE/D!

Vista Energy, a Mexico-based oil and gas company listed on both the Bolsa Mexicana de Valores and the New York Stock Exchange, reported second quarter 2026 results marked by significant operational and financial growth driven by organic expansion and the closing of a major acquisition. The closing of Equinor’s asset acquisition in Vaca Muerta notably increased Vista Energy’s scale. Total production averaged 156,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (BOE/d), a 32% increase year-over-year, with oil production at 135,000 barrels per day, up 33%. This growth was supported by 90 new well connections over the prior 12 months and the inclusion of Bandurria Sur and Bajo del Toro assets from May 1, adding roughly 14,200 BOE/d for the quarter. Financially, Vista Energy achieved total Q2 revenues of $1.15 billion, representing an 89% increase compared to the prior year and 66% above the previous quarter.
