Comodoro Rivadavia, Port city in southeastern Chubut Province, Argentina.
The coastal city stretches along the San Jorge Gulf, with its neighborhoods extending between the Pampa Salamanca plateau and the Atlantic Ocean.
The discovery of petroleum in 1907 transformed this port settlement into Argentina's primary oil production center, establishing its national economic significance.
The National University of Patagonia San Juan Bosco shapes the educational landscape with its engineering programs focused on petroleum and maritime industries.
The General Enrique Mosconi International Airport connects the city with Buenos Aires through multiple daily flights and serves regional Patagonian destinations.
The surrounding wind farms form South America's largest wind energy complex, generating twenty percent of the city's power requirements.
