阿根廷石油和天然气行业报告(2018-2019年)
The extraction of oil and gas is one of Argentina’s main economic sectors, accounting for 2.7% of GDP
and 1% of exports in 2017, as well as 1% of total employment at the end of that year. Oil and natural
gas are the main sources of energy in the country, with a combined share of 84% in domestic energy
matrix since 2016. However, since 2011 the country has been continually moving further and further
away from energy self-sufficiency due to a prolonged period of declining output, caused by a
sustained fall in investments and political and economic uncertainty. Nevertheless, Argentina has
significant growth opportunities in terms of unconventional resources, holding the world’s fourth
largest shale-oil and second-largest shale-gas reserves, according to the latest available estimates,
which were released by the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) in 2016.
