阿根廷石油公司表示将与挪威国家石油公司合作研究海底钻探

Argentina’s state-controlled energy company YPF said on Friday it signed a deal with Norway’s Statoil to study potential offshore drilling sites off Argentina’s Atlantic coast. Argentina has vast oil and gas reserves that have gone untapped, in part due unpredictable policies and cyclical crises over recent decades. The country’s new president vows to normalize the economy and attract investment.

The seismic tests will be undertaken in waters of 500 to 3,500 meters. “For YPF and Statoil, access to new information will be fundamental to understanding the area’s potential,” YPF said in a statement.
