但是，如果阿根廷获得足够投资建设让瓦卡穆尔塔页岩资源盈利所需要的基础设施 — — 管道、铁路、石英矿和废物站 — — 阿根廷有可能会因为充分开采而受困。
Yet, if Argentina receives sufficient investment to build the infrastructure – the pipelines, railways, silica mines, and waste sites – needed to make Vaca Muerta profitable, the country may become effectively locked into full exploitation.
