Unblock Global

Unblock Global is an Argentine energy and compute company founded in 2021 that captures associated gas at oil wells instead of flaring it and burns it on site to power machines. Its unit is a 2 MW containerised data centre parked at the wellhead, where gas intake, generation and hashing happen in one chain and deployment is measured in months. At the Los Toldos project in Vaca Muerta, eight 1.5 MW generators produce roughly 12 MW from associated gas, modular halls run Antminer units at about 100 TH/s, and well testing lifted output from 270 to 2,000 barrels per day.

The business monetises stranded energy: operators earn on gas that would have been burned, emission reductions count toward their Scope 1 and 2 accounting, and the company receives bitcoin plus a growing book of AI compute work. Customers include local operators such as Pampa Energía, Pluspetrol, Tecpetrol and GeoPark, and delivery is equipment plus operations rather than plain hosting. Activity is concentrated in the single Vaca Muerta basin, so output follows oil and gas prices and drilling schedules.
