???? 據俄羅斯油氣網3月24日消息稱，國有能源巨頭YPF計劃投資超過15億美元，以提高Vaca Muerta地層的油氣產量。

????根據EIA的數據，Vaca Muerta擁有阿根廷270億桶技術可采頁巖油資源的近2/3，以及令人印象深刻的308萬億立方英尺可采天然氣資源。

????Vaca Muerta的重要性是如此之大，以至于只需要開發其中一小部分就可以彌補該國的能源赤字。據Rystad Energy稱，在2020年12月，頁巖油和天然氣的產量達到了創紀錄的124000桶/天。

????Vaca Muerta的水力壓裂技術可能是阿根廷走出經濟危機的門票。但是，要想在十年之內將排放量從2007年的水平減少19％，采取這種方法將變得更加困難。根據2015年的《巴黎協定》，每個國家都必須盡其所能減少排放。

????隨著全球在優先應對氣候變化問題上達成共識，那些在接受可再生能源方面行動遲緩的國家可能會落在后面。Vaca Muerta可能是阿根廷獲得出口美元的最快途徑，阿根廷迫切需要出口美元以確保更光明的未來。而挖掘其潛在利潤的時間已經不多了。

????Argentine energy company YPF to invest $1.5 billion in the Vaca Muerta shale basin

????State-run energy giant YPF plans to invest more than $1.5 billion to ramp up oil & gas production in the giant Vaca Muerta formation.

????According to the EIA the Vaca Muerta holds almost 2/3 of Argentina’s estimated 27 billion barrels of technically recoverable shale oil resources along with an impressive 308 trillion cubic feet of recoverable natural gas resources.

????The relevance of Vaca Muerta is so significant that the development of only a small part of this formation could cover the country’s energy deficit. According to Rystad Energy oil production from the shale oil & natural gas play reached a record high of 124,000 barrels daily during December 2020.

????Fracking in Vaca Muerta could be Argentina's ticket out of economic crisis. But taking that route will make it much harder to cut emissions 19% from 2007 levels by the end of the decade. Under the 2015 Paris Agreement, every country must do as much as it can to cut emissions.

????As global consensus grows over the need to prioritise fighting climate change, countries that are slow to embrace renewables risk being left behind. Vaca Muerta is probably Argentina's quickest path to the export dollars it desperately needs to secure a brighter future. And time is running out to tap its potential profits.?
