Protection for natural gas exports to develop Argentina’s unconventional resources potential

Abstract

This article intends to outline the main features of a new export promotion regime that Argentina needs to allow the development of its natural gas unconventional resources through long-term export agreements. It describes the current scenario of Argentina’s gas market and the challenges that gas exports from Argentina have faced in recent years, while proposing possible improvements to the current legal regime to generate the conditions required to enable the development of new regional and international markets for its world-class unconventional resources.
