    Latin American Oil & Gas: Striving to compete
    Panel Markets/Economics/Strategy Upstream Oil & Gas Gas & LNG
    The Latin American upstream sector has some of the best subsurface opportunities available globally. Selected basins such as offshore Brazil, the Guyana Basin, and the onshore Neuquén Basin illustrate the depth of investment interest that is potentially available for several other basins in the region. With the COVID pandemic substantially increasing regional aboveground complications for the industry, how can governments and companies increase competitiveness to capture a portion of already suppressed global E&P spending? Does the current challenging scenario change government´s and companies´ view on the impact of the Energy Transition on the E&P industry? Can gas market reforms and midstream liberalizations unlock the region’s upstream opportunities?
