LNG in Latin America: A Tale of Two Markets

Client Alerts

Kilian de Cintré, Chris Taufatofua, Chris Strong and Ruairi McGill explore the challenges and opportunities in the LNG sector across Latin America and the Caribbean. Despite substantial gas reserves, the region is a net importer, with issues such as declining production, challenging terrains, and lack of infrastructure. Brazil, facing reduced hydropower output, has increased LNG imports, while Argentina is poised to become a significant exporter due to its shale gas reserves.

This article, published by LNG Industry, highlights geopolitical and economic challenges, including political instability and regulatory hurdles, that impact investment in LNG projects.

The authors suggest that while the region faces significant barriers, there are substantial opportunities for growth in the LNG sector, particularly with the right investment and development strategies.
