4月23日莫斯科报道,俄罗斯克里姆林宫顾问尤里·乌沙科夫22日在莫斯科证实说,俄罗斯国有天然气生产公司俄气不日将与阿根廷签署一项能源谅解备忘录。
熟悉情况的消息人士早些时候曾表示,阿根廷国家石油公司(YPF)已接近与俄气签署一项有关俄气向这个南美国家进行能源投资的谅解备忘录。
根据布宜诺斯艾利斯的两名要求不具名的消息人士所说,这项谅解备忘录将在阿根廷总统和YPF主管访问俄罗斯期间签署。但是,消息人士没有提供任何有关计划交易的细节。
乌沙科夫没有详细说明,但他说,阿根廷总统在访问期间将会晤俄气、俄罗斯石油公司、卢克石油公司和俄罗斯国家原子能公司的主管。
YPF曾说,阿根廷渴望扭转昂贵的能源赤字,能源赤字已使阿根廷减少了2000亿美元的投资。努力的关键将是开发迄今几乎没有开发的位于巴塔哥尼亚地区的瓦卡姆尔塔页岩油气田。

Russia to Sign Energy MoU with Argentina
April 23, 2015
World Oil & Gas News
Argentina and Russian state-owned gas producer Gazprom will sign a memorandum soon, Kremlin adviser Yuri Ushakov confirmed on Wednesday.
Sources familiar with the situation said earlier that Argentine state oil company YPF was close to signing a memorandum of understanding for Gazprom to make energy investments in the South American country.
The memorandum is to be signed in Moscow during a visit by President Cristina Fernandez and YPF chief Miguel Galuccio, according to two Buenos Aires-based sources who asked not to be named and provided no details of the planned deal.
Ushakov did not elaborate, but said that Fernandez would meet the heads of Gazprom, Russia's top oil producers Rosneft and Lukoil as well as Rosatom.
Argentina is keen to reverse a costly energy deficit that will take as much as $200 billion in investment to erase, YPF has said. Key to the effort will be the development of the barely-tapped Vaca Muerta shale oil and gas field in Patagonia.
