Eni S p A: Argentina LNG submits application for RIGI approval

San Donato Milanese (Milan), 14 August 2026 - Argentina LNG, the integrated liquefied natural gas (LNG) project promoted by YPF, Eni and XRG, has submitted its application to join Argentina's Large Investment Incentive Regime (RIGI), supporting the development of a large-scale LNG export project leveraging the resources of the Vaca Muerta formation.

The project aims to develop an integrated LNG value chain, from upstream gas production to export infrastructure, including gas transportation and processing facilities, and two Floating Liquefied Natural Gas (FLNG) units with a combined liquefaction capacity of 12 million tonnes per year (MTPA), to be located offshore Río Negro province.

The submission of the RIGI application represents an important milestone toward the project's Final Investment Decision (FID), which is targeted by the end of 2026.

The Argentina LNG project combines the complementary capabilities of YPF, Eni and XRG to unlock the world-class gas resources of Vaca Muerta and contribute to the development of a competitive LNG export platform capable of supplying international markets.
