YPF, Argentina’s state-run energy company, announced on October 10, 2025, a significant development in the country’s liquefied natural gas (LNG) sector through a series of posts on its official X account. The company highlighted the signing of the Technical Final Investment Decision (FID) for the Argentina LNG project in partnership with Eni.
In a post published at 17:05 UTC, YPF stated: “Junto a @eni dimos un paso clave hacia el futuro energĂ©tico de la Argentina. Firmamos el Technical FID del proyecto Argentina LNG, la iniciativa de exportaciĂ³n de Gas Natural Licuado mĂ¡s ambiciosa de nuestra historia.

A minute later, YPF detailed the scope and expected impact of the initiative: “El proyecto contempla la producciĂ³n de 12 millones de toneladas de GNL por año, con una proyecciĂ³n de exportaciĂ³n que podrĂa alcanzar los USD 14.000 millones anuales. Un desarrollo que impulsarĂ¡ la inversiĂ³n, el empleo y la integraciĂ³n internacional del paĂs. https://t.co/25hpAWDhax”.
The following post emphasized Argentina’s potential role in global energy markets: “Seguimos dando pasos firmes con un proyecto que posicionarĂ¡ a la Argentina como un proveedor confiable y competitivo de energĂa en el mundo.”
Argentina has been seeking to leverage its vast natural gas reserves—primarily from the Vaca Muerta shale formation—to expand exports and attract foreign investment into its energy sector. The collaboration between YPF and Eni marks one of the largest efforts to date aimed at transforming Argentina into a major LNG exporter.
