Regional oil production increased 20% compared to the previous year. And, looking ahead, LAC is set to see even greater growth outside of OPEC member countries. Regarding natural gas, the report states there was 10% growth.<\/p>\n<p>The report notes that 46% of regional oil production went to exports with China, which has established itself as the leading destination for external sales, accounting for 31% of LAC&#8217;s oil trade, followed by the United States and the European Union.<\/p>\n<p>In natural gas, OLACDE highlights that 59% of regional imports come from the United States, reflecting the high level of energy integration in North America, while Argentina, along with Trinidad and Tobago, maintain a strategic role as the region&#8217;s leading exporters of liquefied natural gas.<\/p>\n<p>The analysis also projects that, despite the accelerated advance of renewable energy and electrification, oil and natural gas will continue to hold a significant share of the regional energy matrix over the coming decades, with shares of close to 26% each in the primary energy matrix of Latin America and the Caribbean.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Full report at the following link: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.olacde.org\/publicaciones\/panorama-2025-produccion-y-comercio-exterior-de-petroleo-y-gas-natural-en-america-latina-y-el-caribe-alc\/\">https:\/\/www.olacde.org\/publicaciones\/panorama-2025-produccion-y-comercio-exterior-de-petroleo-y-gas-natural-en-america-latina-y-el-caribe-alc\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Latin American and Caribbean Energy Organization (OLACDE) presented the report 2025 Outlook: Oil and Natural Gas Production and Foreign Trade in Latin America and the Caribbean, highlighting strong momentum in the region&#8217;s hydrocarbon sector, driven mainly by the growth of Guyana and the sustained leadership of Brazil and Mexico.
