ARArgentina's oil production is approaching a historic milestone of one million barrels per day, driven by the Vaca Muerta field. Ex-Energy Secretary Emilio Apud discussed this growth during an interview with +Perfil, emphasizing that future production will primarily be exported due to infrastructure limitations. He highlighted the importance of expanding systems like Vaca Muerta Oil Sur (VMOS) to increase exports and noted that domestic consumption remains around 550,000 barrels daily. Apud also addressed international price fluctuations, suggesting sustained prices above $90 could pressure the internal market, though he believes prolonged high prices are unlikely due to U.S. political factors.
