据能源网2022年11月25日布宜诺斯艾利斯报道，阿根廷经济部长塞尔吉奥·马萨周四（11月24日）在布宜诺斯艾利斯表示，阿根廷政府正准备在未来几个月向国会提交一份液化天然气法案，以推动在阿根廷建立一个主要的天然气出口部门。
这项法案旨在刺激数十亿美元的投资，以开发阿根廷巨大的液化天然气储备，因为地缘政治冲突增加了全球对液化天然气的需求。
包括阿根廷国家石油公司YPF在内的阿根廷企业已经表现出了在阿根廷广阔的瓦卡姆尔塔页岩盆地建造液化天然气工厂的兴趣。瓦卡姆尔塔页岩盆地拥有世界第二大非常规天然气储量和第四大页岩油储量。
马萨对商界领袖表示，他希望国会在接下来的延长或特别会议中讨论这项液化天然气法案，阿根廷政府也将宣布一系列法令来配合这项法案。
在长期的金融危机和中左翼政府实施的一系列市场监管下，阿根廷的企业已要求政府提供确定性，确保一旦昂贵的液化天然气工厂建成，液化天然气出口承诺将得到兑现。除外，阿根廷企业还要求政府提供税收和兑换优惠。
据私营企业估计，位于巴塔哥尼亚内乌昆省、面积相当于比利时的瓦卡姆尔塔页岩盆地的开发可能在几年内帮助阿根廷扭转50亿美元的能源赤字，成为能源净出口国。
去年9月，阿根廷总统在休斯敦访问期间表示，这项法案将“为能源生产投资提供确定性，并从根本上为天然气液化工厂的建设提供确定性”。
马萨周四还表示，受高通胀困扰的阿根廷经济，在能源行业和建筑行业的推动下，明年阿根廷的经济增长可能会“远远超过”2023年官方预算中预测的2%。

Argentina government moves to become a major gas exporter
Argentina’s Economy minister Sergio Massa said on Thursday that the government was readying a liquefied natural gas (LNG) bill to send to Congress in the coming months, amid a push to create a major gas export sector in the country.
The bill aims to spur the multi-billion-dollar investments needed to exploit Argentina’s massive LNG reserves, as the war spikes global demand.
Companies like state-owned YPF (YPFD.BA) have shown interest in building plants to liquify gas from Argentina’s vast Vaca Muerta shale basin, the world’s second largest unconventional gas reserve and the fourth largest shale oil reserve.
Massa told business leaders that he hoped Congress would discuss the LNG bill in coming extended or extraordinary sessions, and that the government would also announce a series of decrees to accompany the bill.
Amid a prolonged financial crisis and a series of market regulations imposed by the center-left government, companies have asked the government to provide certainty that LNG export commitments will be honored once the expensive LNG plants are built.
They have also requested tax and exchange benefits.
In a few years, the development of Vaca Muerta, an area the size of Belgium located in the Patagonian province of Neuquen, could help the country reverse a $5 billion energy deficit and become a net energy exporter, private estimates show.
Last September, President Alberto Fernandez said during a trip to Houston that the law would offer “certainties to investments destined for energy production and fundamentally to the construction of gas liquefaction plants.”
Massa on Thursday also said that Argentina’s economy, racked by high inflation, is likely next year to grow “much more” than the 2% forecast in the official 2023 budget, on the back of the energy and constructions.
