Argentina Approves $3.24 Billion Gas Projects Under RIGI Incentive Regime
What happened
Argentina’s Economy Ministry approved two gas-liquids projects, totaling about US$3.24 billion, under the RIGI incentive regime on November 12, 2026. These projects are designed to convert gas from Vaca Muerta into propane and butane for export. The processing project will connect to the Tratayén plant of Transportadora de Gas del Sur.

Why it matters
