Argentina’s President Javier Milei met with TotalEnergies CEO Patrick Pouyanné and Eni CEO Claudio Descalzi in Paris to discuss Argentina’s energy sector, including projects linked to the Vaca Muerta shale formation and the development of the Argentina LNG export project.
The Absheron gas field expansion will supply additional natural gas to Azerbaijan’s domestic market and support its export commitments to Turkey, allowing Baku to stay focused on meeting its gas export obligations to Europe.
A credible custody-transfer record depends on far more than the accuracy of a single meter. It is the product of an integrated measurement chain. While meter performance supports measurement-system integrity, commercial confidence also depends on traceability, governance, and authorization.
