The International  Study Group is pleased to host Cesar Emilio Guzzetti, PhD, to speak on the status of the Argentine Oil & Gas Industry at this Speaker Luncheon Event.

After more than twelve years of very low activity in their domestic hydrocarbon industry, Argentina depends on imported gas via LNG and from Bolivia. The Argentine government is trying to reverse the situation.  Dr. Guzzetti will to present a brief summary of the situation in Argentina after 12 years of low activity and a description of the activity that has taken place in Vaca Muerta over the last 5 years.  Additionally, he will summarize the position that the main players have today in Vaca Muerta, and their plans for the next 5 years.
