I am guessing you might be seeking ways to clarify and hammer home the urgency of climate disaster change, to the leadership of your country.
I would suggest to use formal Systems Engineering techniques to analyse your scenario, of Argentina engaged in World energy business via Fracking in Vaca Muerta.
Elites usually pay attention to this kind of analysis, but only when they've paid for it, I would say from own experience.
Otherwise, they won't think it's any value at all.
I would recommend also reading Dave Volek's expert contribution, it does help give deeper understanding of what fracking is all about.
Anyhow, on the formal system Engineering; the approach I would recommend is to draw a geographical context view of all flows of money as energy by converting all money to energy at market rates per KWhr, and all fuel to energy, knowing the energy content of the fuel at all stages. Add the extraction and refinement energy flows and all work done, as more energy flows, to get a comprehensive energy view.
This will give you the truth you seek, including indication of whether or not the economic activity of fracking will benefit Argentina
It won't, as I think you already know by your own maybe less formal view, but more revealing, you will be able to put estimates on how much damage will be done by Argentina, how much damage will be done to Argentina, and the world, by pursuing the fracking policy. Further, it will even give you qualitative evidence on what to expect from other countries, if / when the "Shit hits the fan", when other colonial countries see the most profitable option is to just take what they want by force, after Argentina has been carefully set up as a reasonable mark, economically.
Recall my own country UK has proven track record of such Skullduggery, with Argentina, and notice the new political leaders of UK have energy ambitions which appear to include energy related trade with other countries, rather than just concentrating on achieving our own energy independence, as I recommend all countries should do, by immediate issue of solar indexed stimulus, removing their/our need to carry on acting for profit, forcing extraction, therefore uniting with one another by that common goal, rather than everyone being in competition with, and ultimately at loggerheads with, and even at war with one another.
I find the solar powered Ai (Free) very valuable in all of these kinds of analysis.
