That's funny stuff. I remember logging a well for ENAP near the fence that was decidedly deviated. YPF apparently never figured it out.

It's a good thing the construction crew did not raise any flag at the dedication ceremony. Or did they?
That could be construed as laying an official claim to all the land enclosed by the fence.

As neighbor to my kleptomaniac fool, it's hilarious Argentina has to apologize for this mistake.

Meanwhile we are enjoying already exceptional ski season at Valle Nevado which has allowed the resort to open a full two weeks earlier than anticipated. Another major storm has dropped an absurd snow total at our Chilean ski area.

Valle Nevado is reporting 175 cm of new snow from this week’s storms as of Friday, June 14—that’s approximately 5.75 FEET of new snow.

¡Saludos de Valle Nevado!

The solar panels were incorrectly installed (1m) by mistake, contrary to the opinion of some readers here. They're removed. Problem solved.
