The U.S. Export-Import Bank has offered up to $6 billion in financing for the Argentina LNG project, the $24 billion natural gas development led by Argentina's YPF Sociedad Anónima alongside Italy's Eni and Abu Dhabi's ADNOC. The project, expected to become the largest infrastructure project in Argentina's history, is designed to extract and monetize the country's shale gas resources and will require $24 billion to build natural gas processing facilities, pipelines and liquefaction units, with the consortium seeking financing to fund part of those costs. The partners intend to make a final investment decision in November this year, though they may proceed with only letters of intent from banks and export credit agencies to finalize lending terms. Earlier this month, YPF said it was on track to sign two to three LNG sales agreements covering a combined capacity of 500 thousand to 1.5 million metric tons per year, deals the companies aim to secure before the November final investment decision. The project is initially expected to include two floating LNG facilities with a combined capacity of 12 MTPA, with potential to increase to 18 MTPA, plus a 527-kilometre pipeline to transport natural gas from Vaca Muerta to Argentina's Atlantic coast in Rio Negro province. YPF's stock has declined 6% since the announcement.
