Russia interested in Argentina's shale deposits, says Cristina Fernandez
Monday, July 14th 2014 - 05:49 UTC en.mercopress.com

President Cristina Fernandez confirmed Russia’s interest in investing in Argentina's Vaca Muerta shale formation in Patagonia and announced that a Russian delegation will travel soon to the area, which holds one of the largest shale gas and oil reserves of the world.

“A Russian delegation will travel to Vaca Muerta to visit one of the largest shale gas areas of the world,” Cristina Fernández said. “We’re talking about Russia, one of the world’s top producers of gas and oil. But we Argentines also have our own and it seems like others have noticed.”

At the same time Argentine Federal minister Julio De Vido said the visit of the Russian delegation to Vaca Muerta “creates a lot of expectations” regarding possible investment in the area.

De Vido described Russia’s Gazprom energy firm as “one of the most important energy firms of the world.” De Vido said “it creates a lot of satisfaction for us that they want to visit this area...”
