Argentina may cease purchasing natural gas from Bolivia’s YPFB starting in 2024, as Argentina expects to attain gas self-sufficiency next year, according to Argentina’s Ambassador to Bolivia, Ariel Basteiro. This development precedes the planned inauguration of the NKGP gas pipeline, linking the Vaca Muerta fields to domestic demand hubs and a future export terminal. Basteiro suggested Bolivia could offset the potential decrease in Argentine demand with robust demand for its gas from Brazil.
