据管道新闻网5月9日消息称，智利国家石油公司(ENAP)周一表示，已与阿根廷石油公司YPF签署了一项临时协议，将通过特拉萨迪诺管道进口原油，这是两国贸易的关键一步。

特拉桑迪诺管道，简称OTA-OTC或OTASA，将巴塔哥尼亚西部内乌肯省的Vaca Muerta页岩地层与智利连接起来，由ENAP、YPF和雪佛龙公司共同拥有。

Vaca Muerta是全球第二大页岩气储量和第四大页岩油储量，被视为阿根廷努力减少对昂贵能源进口依赖的关键。

该合同有效期为45天，将使这家智利公司在5月至6月期间每天购入4.1万桶石油。

ENAP在一份声明中表示，尽管该交易是“常规购买操作”，但它是“两国之间长期能源-石油互联”的第一步。

Chile, Argentina’s YPF Ink Deal to import Oil via Trasandino Pipeline

Chilean state oil company National Petroleum Company (ENAP) said on Monday it has signed a temporary agreement with Argentine oil firm YPF to import crude through the Trasandino pipeline, a key step for both countries' trade.

The Trasadino pipeline, known as OTA-OTC or OTASA, connects the huge Vaca Muerta shale formation in the western Patagonian province of Neuquen with Chile, and is co-owned by ENAP, YPF, and Chevron Corp.

Vaca Muerta, the world's second largest shale gas reserve and fourth largest for shale oil, is seen as key to Argentina's push to lessen reliance on pricey energy imports.

The contract, which is valid for 45 days, would enable the Chilean firm to buy 41,000 barrels of oil per day between May and June.

ENAP said in a statement that, although the deal is a "regular purchase operation," it is an initial step for the renewal of "energy-oil interconnection between the two countries in the long term."
