In a move that strengthens Gulf-Latin America energy cooperation, Abu Dhabi's XRG and Italy's Eni have signed agreements with Argentina's state oil company YPF to acquire minority stakes in three upstream blocks in Argentina. The blocks are tied to the Argentine LNG project, which aims to exploit the Vaca Muerta shale gas resources, according to Reuters.
The deal comes as Argentina accelerates efforts to become an LNG exporter, leveraging its vast Vaca Muerta reserves.
