The oil battle (Spanish: La batalla del petróleo) was an economic battle announced by the government of Argentine president Arturo Frondizi on 24 July 1958.
The aim of the "battle" was to achieve self-sufficiency in oil production.
It is remembered for the ideological controversy caused by the apparent ideological about-face of the president, who had previously been critical of oil policy.
