The government is also in talks with Bolivia about the cost of using existing infrastructure to get gas up to Sao Paulo, Brazil. Vaca Muerta–BrazilArgentina will end 2023 with a stable energy balance following a record deficit in 2022. To that end, a month ago the government launched a tender for the Reversal of the Northern Gas Pipeline — aimed at getting Vaca Muerta energy to Argentina’s northern provinces. If the project is ready by then, sources in the Economy Ministry say “the Argentine north will live off Vaca Muerta.” And the almost 20-year-long contract with Bolivia will be terminated. It will be at the inauguration of the Vaca Muerta Northern Pipeline, which will increase transportation capacity and export crude oil to Chile.
