Argentina is once again facing a window of opportunity that it must seize if it wants to be competitive internationally. Despite a context of economic crisis, lack of reserves, inflation, and capital controls, the energy industry is experiencing "an expansion and a level of investment not seen since the 80s," according to Daniel Gerold, an industrial engineer with a postgraduate degree in Oil and Natural Gas Economics and director of G&G Energy Consultants, one of the experts on the subject who participated in a meeting organized by LA NACION.
