据天然气加工新闻网3月6日报道，玻利维亚国有石油公司YPFB与巴西国家石油公司签署了一项协议，将天然气出口延长至2026年，这意味着这一时期内南美内陆国家的潜在收入高达60亿美元左右。
玻利维亚的碳氢化合物部长维克多·雨果·萨莫拉（VíctorHugo Zamora）对记者表示，这项扩建将为该国不景气的经济注入40亿至60亿美元，而在过去几年中，由于天然气出口停滞，这一增长速度有所放缓。他补充道，其保证了我们的收入，使我们能够和平生活，满足国家的经济需求。
YPFB与巴西国家石油公司之间的合作在过去二十年中为玻利维亚创造了约320亿美元的收入。
但是，新协议规定的新日销售量在1400万至2000万立方米之间，低于初始合同中的每日2400万至3000万立方米。
YPFB主席赫兰·索里兹表示，首先，我们将确保我们今天生产的量可以满足玻利维亚和巴国油的需求。 我们所做的是寻找YPFB和Petrobras之间可以交易的最大数量。
天然气出口价格将与石油价格挂钩。

Bolivia extends gas deal with Brazil's Petrobras to 2026
The deal, signed in the city of Santa Cruz, is the eighth addendum to an agreement first struck in 1999, which expired at the end of last year with Bolivia locked in political turmoil after long-term president Evo Morales resigned under pressure.
A short-term 90 day extension was agreed after it expired.
Bolivia’s minister of hydrocarbons, Víctor Hugo Zamora, told reporters that the extension would inject between $4 billion and 6 billion into the country’s flagging economy, which has slowed amid stalling gas exports over the last few years.
“It guarantees us income so that we can live in peace, covering the economic needs and demands of the state,” he added.
The tie-up between YPFB and Petrobras has created revenue of about $32 billion for Bolivia over the last two decades.
The new agreement, however, establishes a new daily sales volume of between 14 million and 20 million cubic meters, which is down from the level in the initial contract, which had been between around 24 million to 30 million cubic meters per day.
“First we will assure the volumes that we can produce today as Bolivians and meet Petrobras’ demand requirements. What we did is look for the maximum volume that can be traded between YPFB and Petrobras,” YPFB President Herland Soliz said.
The price of gas exports will be indexed to oil prices.
