Argentina should export LNG – official

Argentina should “think big” and export LNG to the global market, Daniel Montamat, an adviser to the Argentine Energy Ministry, was quoted as saying by local press.

If the country manages to increase its production to 140-150 million cubic metres per day (MMcm/d), then it should export to South America, and if output reaches 190-200 MMcm/d the country could target global markets, he added.

“Argentina must decide if it wants to play in the South American Cup or the World Cup,” Montamat was quoted as saying.
