Argentina LNG
Last year, YPF and Malaysia’s Petronas decided to build the $30 billion Argentina LNG export project in the Patagonian province of Río Negro.
YPF and Petronas decided that the project would be located in Sierra Grande, Río Negro instead of the initial Bahia Blanca, Buenos Aires plan.
The Sierra Grande area appears to be the best option due to the shorter length of the pipelines needed to transport shale natural gas from Vaca Muerta.
In March 2024, YPF launched a tender for engineering work for floating LNG units as part of its planned Argentina LNG export project.
YPF said the full project would have a capacity of 30 mtpa.
According to the Argentina LNG website, during its first phase, the project would have two floating liquefaction units with a production capacity of 10 mtpa.
The second phase includes the construction of a 10 mtpa onshore modular liquefaction plant, while the third phase entails an expansion of the onshore plant with new liquefaction trains for an additional 10 mtpa.
