Overview

• Rosario Grain Exchange projects 2025 oil output at about 46 million m3 and gas at 53.4 bcm, with January–July production up 11% for oil and 4% for gas versus a year earlier.
• Non‑conventional oil accounts for roughly 60% of extraction so far in 2025, up from under 25% in 2020 and under 5% in 2015, reflecting Vaca Muerta’s expansion.
• BCR highlights pipeline works—Perito Moreno’s new stage, the Gasoducto Norte reversal and the Vaca Muerta Sur oil line—as enablers for domestic supply and future exports to Bolivia, Brazil and via the Atlantic.
• Two floating LNG liquefaction vessels contracted by Southern Energy are confirmed to arrive in spring 2027 and mid‑2028 with nearly 6 mtpa capacity, while three additional units remain under evaluation with investment decisions targeted for early 2026.
• Industry estimates say supplying five FLNG units would require 111–140 million m3/day of gas—about a 78% increase over current output—underscoring extensive infrastructure, materials and workforce needs outlined at the AOG Expo, where current Neuquén production was cited at over 800,000 b/d of oil and around 160 million m3/day of gas.
