Scatta la corsa all’Oil&Gas in Argentina

Roberto Bonanzinga, an entrepreneur from Lombardy and producer of cable assemblies, is optimistic about the potential business in Argentina. Promos Italia, an Italian Cameral System agency, selected him to explore the growing market in Buenos Aires, particularly related to the Vaca Muerta site. This site holds one of the largest unconventional gas and oil reserves globally.

To develop this site, Italy-based companies must bring in equipment, infrastructures, and components, areas where Italian firms have proven expertise, especially in the Oil & Gas sector. The Promos Italia mission took place from October 19 to 21, with numerous B2B meetings with companies involved in the Vaca Muerta and Río Negro clusters.

Luca Modenesi, the area manager for Mechanical Low Industries, emphasized that many potential opportunities were identified. Forain Fabrizio Vitali, the sales manager of Forain, stated that the next step is to qualify potential contractors in Argentina, as these could lead to engineering and manufacturing processes in Italy for Argentina.

Promos Italia, for the third consecutive year, has been accompanying Italian companies in Argentina, leveraging the recent surge in export activity, particularly in the valve industry. Andrea Bonalumi, the Director of Services to Enterprises at Promos Italia, highlighted that the mission was successful in connecting Italian companies with local counterparts, confirming the strategic vision that has now gained more relevance in the international landscape, driven by the need to diversify energy supplies.
