YPF Eni Argentina LNG Vaca Muerta Phase 1 FLNG History

Argentina holds the second-largest shale gas reserves in the world, positioning it as a major player in the global energy market.

In recent years, the country has ramped up development efforts to reduce energy imports and become a net gas exporter.

With growing investments in LNG infrastructure and regional pipeline connections, Argentina is actively working to expand gas exports to neighboring countries and global markets.

Vaca Muerta, located in the Neuquén Basin, is one of the world’s largest shale gas and oil fields and serves as a key driver of Argentina’s energy future.

This vast unconventional resource contains an estimated 308 trillion cubic feet (tcf) of technically recoverable shale gas.
