Governor Claudio Vidal presented the program to representatives of all operators active in the province. Royalties on new unconventional and offshore production would fall to 5% over a 10-year term

Roch Proyectos will take three mature San Jorge Gulf Basin blocks ceded by YPF to Santa Cruz province, targeting secondary and tertiary recovery in fields that leave more than 70% of original oil in place

Wood Mackenzie estimates the bulk of 11 million b/d in curtailed production could return within weeks if the Strait of Hormuz reopens, though damage to two Ras Laffan trains will prevent Qatar from reaching full LNG capacity for several years

WTI's sharp intraday loss resets the oil market to $94 a barrel, but three unresolved variables — the April 10 Islamabad negotiations, Israel's Lebanon operation, and the unaccepted terms of Iran's 10-point proposal — keep both the April 21 deadline and the price in play

Bahía Blanca shipped more LPG to India in the first three months of 2026 than in all of 2025. Vortexa data show 78% of those cargoes sailed before the conflict disrupted Strait of Hormuz transit

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz confirmed the operation. TTF faces fresh upward pressure on the same day ENARSA received technical bids in Argentina's private winter LNG tender

The alliance on Sunday endorsed in principle the same quota increment as April, but Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, and Iraq cannot execute it while the Strait of Hormuz remains closed. Brent touched a four-year high of $119.50 this week; JPMorgan warns prices could top $150 if the strait stays blocked through mid-May

After returning $1 billion in U.S. offshore wind licenses to redirect capital to oil and gas, TotalEnergies is evaluating entry into the South Atlantic deepwater block where YPF and ENI are betting on a Namibia-style pre-salt play — and no company reads that geology with more authority

The real constraint isn't capital: the three OEM suppliers capable of rebuilding Ras Laffan's liquefaction trains entered 2026 with two-to-four-year backlogs — and Argentina needs the same equipment to build its own LNG export capacity

February output held at 874,000 bbl/d — a 15.8% year-on-year gain — confirming the new floor rather than a seasonal spike. Neuquén drove nearly seven in ten barrels, but a 126,000 bbl/d gap to the 1 million bbl/d target and unresolved transport constraints mean geology is no longer the binding variable

From floating LNG to crude export pipelines and NGL fractionation, a concurrent buildout across Vaca Muerta's full value chain represents the largest private investment cycle in Argentina's energy sector this century

With Neuquén crude output at 600,000 bbl/d and the Duplicar Plus system approaching saturation, Argentina's two main midstream operators are racing to build crude, gas, and NGL evacuation infrastructure — and manage the capacity gap in between
