RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL - Argentina wants energy firms to invest some US$5 billion to boost hydrocarbon production and generate jobs in the country's prized Vaca Muerta shale deposits, as well as bringing in much-needed foreign currency.

The government expects the plan to help increase tax collection by some US$2.5 billion and a bump up its fiscal balance.
