In this regard, he added that “in global terms, and based on data published by the US Energy Information Administration (2015), offshore oil production was responsible for almost 30% of world production of this product. Furthermore, among the main discoveries of conventional hydrocarbons in recent decades, more than 90% took place in offshore deposits”.
In addition, the United States Chamber of Commerce highlighted that “in Latin America, Argentina has been one of the pioneer countries in using this modality, with more than 50 years of experience in exploring its continental sea in search of hydrocarbons, and having drilled 187 wells on the seabed so far, without significant environmental incidents”.
In fact, he reviews that “in the platforms currently present in the Argentine Sea, around 18% of the natural gas and 2% of the oil used by the entire population comes from the offshore activity that is carried out there, with 37 operating wells that do not have had environmental incidents in recent years”.
The industry has shown “to offer sufficient guarantees to affirm that offshore exploration and exploitation can be carried out, without affecting productive activities such as fishing and tourism,” the entity said.
“We hope that our social, political and business leaders clearly understand these proposals and that the government arbitrates the control mechanisms required so that said explorations respond with all the necessary security measures to guarantee the protection of people and the environment,” concluded the statement from AmCham Argentina.
