Gazprom strengthens ties with Argentinian partners

The meeting participants looked at the development prospects for the bilateral cooperation in the gas sector, with an emphasis on exploration and production of gas from Argentine gas fields.

Consideration was also given to supplies of liquefied natural gas from Gazprom Group's portfolio to the country.

Argentina's proven natural gas and oil reserves average 300 billion cubic metres and 300 million tons accordingly. In 2013 Argentina produced nearly 35.5 billion cubic metres of natural gas and 30.5 million tons of oil and consumed 48 billion cubic metres and 29.4 million tons accordingly.

In 2013 Gazprom Marketing & Trading won an international tender for the supply of 15 LNG cargoes with a total volume of one million tons from Gazprom Group's portfolio to Argentina between 2014 and 2015.
