Why did Bolivia become a net importer of fuel in 2022?

After 30 years of being a hydrocarbon exporting country, Bolivia became a net importer of fuel as of April 2022. Higher fuel prices and a decade of reduced exploration and production of natural gas are factors to this deficit. Future opportunities may be found in the areas of exploration, drilling, and natural gas production.

How do I export to Bolivia?

Exporters should follow IATA or ICAO rules governing labeling and packaging of dangerous and restricted goods and check with air carriers for further information and appropriate forms. Individuals may receive parcel post shipments valued at less than $5,000 by filling out a customs form at a Bolivian post office.

How much gas does Bolivia produce a day?

In the hydrocarbons sector, Bolivia currently produces an average of 36 million cubic meters of gas per day (M Mm3/day), using 12 Mm3/day for domestic consumption, while exporting 15.0 Mm3/day to Brazil and 8 Mm3/day to Argentina. Hydrocarbons accounted for approximately 22 percent of Bolivia’s exports, or $2.9 billion, in 2022.

Will Argentina stop importing natural gas from Bolivia?

As a result, Argentina announced that by the end of 2024 it will cease importing natural gas from Bolivia. Bolivia’s contract with Brazil ends in 2026; however, negotiations are underway to extend import agreements and perhaps encourage more investment.

Which companies make electricity in Bolivia?
