Report summary
In 2025, the Latin America upstream sector will continue with its successful track record of expanding production but will also face challenges. The region is important as part of the non-OPEC world supply. Brazil and Guyana will continue to lead the growth in oil production. Argentina’s oil and gas sector must receive and influx of investment in 2025 to signal the sector is truly on track to ramp up Vaca Muerta’s development. Mexico and Trinidad & Tobago will continue struggling during 2025 to, respectively, maintain oil production levels and mitigate natural gas decline. If successful, Colombia’s additional exploration in the Caribbean Guajira basin during 2025 can accelerate the development of its offshore gas resources. Venezuela’s upstream sector could face further constraints if the new US government imposes tougher sanctions against the Maduro regime.
