Frédéric Barnaud, SEFE CCO, said: “SEFE’s first LNG partnership with a South American supplier not only contributes to the geographic diversification of our portfolio, but also strengthens Europe’s energy security. We are pleased to support Argentina on its path to becoming a global LNG exporter. This also provides SEFE with a welcome opportunity to continue its collaboration with the Hilli Episeyo’s team as it moves from Cameroon to Argentina.”

Rodolfo Freyre, Chairman of Southern Energy, added: “The agreement with SEFE constitutes the first large scale LNG sales agreement for Argentina and a key milestone for the future development of the Vaca Muerta gas resources. We’re proud to take this first step into the LNG market with a globally respected and established counterpart on our side.”
