HOUSTON, March 26 (Reuters) - Argentina's energy exports could reach $50 billion per year starting in 2031, driven primarily by sales of liquefied natural gas (LNG), the chief executive of Argentina's state-run oil and gas producer YPF, Horacio Marin, said on Thursday.
The executive, who spoke at an energy conference in Houston, said that an estimated $130 billion is expected to be invested in the country through 2031 for the development of crude oil, LNG, and transport infrastructure from the Vaca Muerta region.
Marin also estimated that Argentina's oil production could reach 1 million barrels per day (bpd) by the end of December, from current 900,000 bpd.
