New Energy research report from Business Monitor International is now available from Fast Market Research
 
Nov. 25, 2010 - PRLog -- There is considerable government involvement in fuel tariffs and pricing etc. The original government vehicle was YPF, which is owned by Spanish group Repsol YPF. A new stateowned energy company called Enarsa was formed in late 2004. Repsol has reduced its stake in YPF through a sale to Argentine interests.

Highly competitive upstream and downstream industry, with extensive IOC involvement in all elements, from oil/gas production, through oil refining to fuels distribution.

Repsol YPF accounted for around 46% of domestic oil production, 39% of gas output, half of national refining capacity and around 35% of the retail fuels market in 2008. Repsol divested a 14.9% stake in YPF in Q108 although further divestments now seem unlikely.

Brazil-owned Petrobras Energia has 6% of upstream oil production, 6% of gas output, 13% of refining capacity and about 15% fuels market share.

US major Chevron accounts for 5% of Argentina's oil output, having produced 33,000b/d of oil in 2009.

ExxonMobil produced 0.7bcm of gas from the Sierra Chata and Aguarague fields in 2007, operates the 86,000b/d Campana refinery and has a retail market share of about 20%.

Royal Dutch Shell has 100,000b/d of refining capacity and a retail market share in excess of 20%.

China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) has announced that it has signed a US$3.1bn deal with Argentina's Bridas Energy Holdings to take a 50% stake in its wholly owned unit Bridas Corporation (Bridas). Following the transaction, Bridas will become a 50:50 joint venture (JV). The Bridas assets include oil and gas E&P activities in Argentina, Bolivia and Chile, part of which is owned through a 40% stake in Pan American Energy (PAE). The deal is expected to increase CNOOC's proven reserves by 318mn barrels of oil equivalent (boe) and add around 46,000boe/d to its production.

BP's PAE has 11.5% of local oil production and 9% of domestic gas output, in 2009 producing 75,000b/d of oil and 3.9bcm of gas. Since the Deepwater Horizon disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, there has been speculation that BP will sell its share of PAE.

Total of France produced 8.5% of Argentina's gas in 2009. It accounts for 2.3% of oil production.

BG Group divested most of its substantial interest in major Buenos Aires gas distributor MetroGAS as part of a refinancing programme.

US-based independent Occidental produced 36,000b/d of oil and 0.36bcm of natural gas in 2009.

Apache Energy of the US acquired the Argentine upstream interests of Pioneer in a US$675mn deal in 2006.
