Argentina Upstream Fiscal and Regulatory Report - Reduced Royalty Offered for First Offshore Round
Summary
The changes to the fiscal regime and the reforms implemented under the administration of President Macri have improved the investment climate for the upstream hydrocarbon sector. However, despite having suspended controls on domestic crude oil prices in September 2018, the government has been forced to reintroduce an export tax as a result of Argentina’s current currency crisis. At the same time, the government wants to go ahead with increasing gas prices for final consumers to improve the attractiveness of the hydrocarbons sector for prospective investors, but this may face opposition from Parliament. On top of this, in November 2018, Argentina opened Argentina Offshore Round 1 through which 36 blocks are on offer across three different basins.
