  • The Iran conflict has created opportunities for fossil fuel producers despite declining underlying demand.
  • Brazil remains the region's main growth engine, with offshore development, regulatory liberalization and foreign investment supporting expansion over the next decade.
  • Argentina leads regional natural gas growth prospects, supported by unconventional resources and intensive drilling in Vaca Muerta.
