Argentina has initiated gas exports from its Vaca Muerta shale formation to Brazil, utilising Bolivian pipelines. Sustained exports would benefit Argentina, whose gas output is increasing under President Javier Milei’s policies, potentially improving the country’s energy trade balance. This strategic deal involves TotalEnergies, Bolivia’s YPFB and Matrix Energia, and marks a significant step in establishing a long-term route for Argentina’s gas to markets in Brazil.
