Report summary
The Argentine government finally launched the Gas Scheme 2020-2040, which will be a tender to contract up to 70 Mcmd and incremental volumes in winter for four years starting deliveries in January 2021. This tender aims to provide foreseeability of contracting, payments and pricing, and through this revive investments in gas production to reduce gas, diesel and LNG imports. Despite the price cap imposed, this tender is a market pricing mechanism much better than historical arbitrary price settings by the Argentine government or price subsidies to producers. It also will be the biggest contracting deal in Latin America summing 117 bcm in the next for years, which would represent up to 16.6 US$ billion dollars of gas sales.
