President Javier Milei has demanded the immediate cancellation of the Sea Lion oilfield project, giving officials just two weeks to comply with the order. The move marks a sharp shift in energy policy, as the government seeks to halt what critics describe as an environmentally risky and economically questionable venture. With no alternative plans yet announced, the decision raises questions about its impact on Argentina’s energy sector and regional relations. Industry observers are closely watching whether the deadline will be met or if legal challenges could delay the project’s abandonment.
President Javier Milei set a two-week deadline for the Sea Lion oilfield project to be scrapped.
