forces and interests ... There was ... determined to lock the action of a government whose plans harmed the situation created since ancient ..., for example, those related to oil imports ... ...
OIL AND POLITICS
... December 1954 (Frondizi ... senses ... National Committee ... UCR) released its ... book "Oil and Politics." Under the doctrine ... (of) Avellaneda ... postulated the nationalization of deposits and the monopoly of the exploration, exploitation and marketing ... by YPF. With all the anti-imperialist literature ... of the time history, the abuses and crimes committed ... (by) the global political concessions to the big monopolies ... because the country was self-sufficient to get rid of these international cartels ...

caused
... huge surprise announcement ... (of) ... Frondizi ... the ... (24/07/1958) ... to launch the ... 'Battle Oil '... drew the following table: "Argentina mind ... 65% of fuel ... it consumes. About ... 14 million cubic meters in 1957 ... ... 10 million ... (imported) ... oil and its derivatives ... (were) over 21% of imports, ... All resulting in stagnation, paralysis ... "

... (on the) self-sufficiency, ... it certainly reached and any out the efforts and sacrifices that had to do.

The executor ... would YPF oil policy, which would be given all available resources and would be restructured to give the character of modern enterprise and free from political interference. But the country's resources were scarce ... "We do not have, therefore, not an ounce of gold in Central Bank YPF"

regard ... (the) private capital, indispensable ... (by) the insufficiency and resources ... state companies would work for YPF., which would deliver ... (all) oil from drawing ... and would charge her work in domestic currency or currencies.

... be forwarded to Congress a draft law on hydrocarbons
  1. solid and gaseous hydrocarbons are the exclusive property, indefeasible and inalienable right of the nation.
  2. The management and overall responsibility for national oil policy will be in charge of YPF.
  3. The provinces will share in the benefits ... ... of sites located within their jurisdiction.
  4. existing situations to 1 May 1958 will be respected, but not give any further concession.

THE BATTLE OF OIL

... While the focus was steel ... ... the urgency ... (by) oil ... (was) imperative to save foreign exchange. In 1957 he had paid $ s217-million ... imported oil (U.S. $ S317 million and total-fuel) ...

... (11/04/1960) ... "In the last ten years import-78650000 cubic meters of oil ... (by) ... u $ s1.776-million ... with this amount could have conducted the most ambitious development plan ... We have helped finance not only steel plant in San Nicolas, but also plants Salto Grande hydroelectric and Chocón, without recourse to foreign contribution ..., thermal and hydroelectric plants installed at strategic points ..., purchase of transport ships, modernize our military equipment, build bridges, roads and airfields, overhaul the railways, assist farmers. In short transform the country. " The calculation of Frondizi ... (is on) the dollar in 1960.
...
{Note that this is a president in defense of a policy adopted and that the author is an advocate of the president and the above policy, therefore corresponds to a rigorous critical analysis}
... ...
statistics of oil production and imports shows that from 1907 ... at the beginning of the operation ... to 1957, the country needed to import growing volumes until 1957 ... barely covered production from ... (35/45 %) ... of consumption, imports the rest, while ... (they had) reserves ... (by) 600 million cubic meters of oil and gas ... despite the low consumption, ... 0.75 meters cubic per person per year ...

The tax rate ... (to) ... oil was so fast, that in sixty days had signed the main ... (contracts) ... with private companies and had revived the production of YPF ... six months after its subcontractors began delivering its production to YPF, after three years was achieved almost self-sufficiency in 1963, only imported 1.7 million cubic meters ... (was) 6% of total imports ... against 24% in 1957.

CONTRACTS

whatever the grounds of urgency ... (of) Frondizi ... (was) a reaction ... the signing of contracts with Frondizi foreign ... in his book, ... (and) a strong tradition rooted in various sectors ... conceptualized detrimental to national sovereignty intervention of private interests - worse, if they were outsiders - ... ...
(a) ... the Frondizi oil policy, besides this question of principle, voiced strong criticism ...: The contracts were signed without competitive bidding clandestinely and without the approval of Congress ...

Arturo Sabato representing President (Frondizi) in YPF, said that of the thirteen contracts ..., seven were the result of tenders public - one reserved for international and other Argentine companies - and the remaining six were ... (by) direct negotiations conducted by himself and then by the prescient ... Aguirre Legarreta YPF and Bruno, in exercise of statutory powers of the Board ...

... (on) the submission to Congress argued that the signing of contracts of this nature is exclusive function of the administrative power and there is no legal provision providing for legislative approval. By contrast YPF statutes have conferred such authority to the Board ... The reason for urgency, on the other hand, indicated the need to avoid the instance of Congress which would have led to endless debates.

{
perhaps the issue could happen of YPF to avoid competitive bidding and contract directly. In addition, those of the author - Oden - is contradicted by Robert Potash, as the contracts went SI by Congress and approved as the government had a majority in both houses}

(THE SELF-SUFFICIENCY )

"The CONADE ... report on the 1965-1969 development plan (period Illia government ...) ...: Until ... 1956, output grows at 4% accumulative increases in 1957/58 ... 7% cumulative annual 1959/62 ... ... 31% ... (So) ... doubled in three years, reaching almost to self-sufficiency ... ... "

{previously the author had noted that the crucial issue was to achieve self-sufficiency and not who - state / special / national / foreign - to the production / operation}

... the production of oil and gas ... tripled, up from 5.6 million cubic meters in 1957 to 18.5 million in 1963 ... YPF ... (brought in) oil and derivatives ... 30.3% (average of the years 1922 to 1957), excluding the years of War 2, ... to 94.2% in 1963.

in 1958 imported 10.3 million cubic meters of oil and derivatives ... u $ s217 million ... in 1960 it imported only 1.7 million cubic meters per ... u $ s38 million. Three foreign companies ... produced in 1963 to 30% of the total ... ... The cumulative production of three companies in 1963 was 16 million cubic meters, for $ 200 million ... ...

(COST)

president of YPF
... ... Facundo Suárez (Illia government) ... the cost of crude ... (of) YPF was u $ s12, 30 cubic meter ... (for) 'Pan American' (USA) was U.S. $ s9, 32 ... and the average imported crude oil in 1971 was U.S. $ 20, 30 ...

{
least nine years later, the comparison should be with and cost of imported crude oil to the same date}

... private contractors ... {produced until 1972 since when?} ... more than 62 million cubic meters ... (for) about $ s1000-million Saving ...

YPF capitalized
... ... (in) 1958/1963 ... (by) contributions from the Treasury and utilities ... ... (por9 oil market that gave contractors ... the oil delivered by 'Pan American' cost YPF, under contract, or $ s9, 32 cubic meter, and sold it to $ s13, 65 ...

{It is assumed that contracts establish any provision of updated}

... The One Tennessee ... was paid $ 11, 64 ... and sold it to $ s19, 35 ...

... YPF was capitalized at $ 200 million ... ... ... that allowed drilling 684 wells in 1961 to 309 wells ... in 1957.

YPF production, oil and gas ... ... rose from 5.3 million cubic meters in 1957 to 11.3 million in 1963 ... spent ... u $ s1000-million ...

The
private companies operating in less than 9% of the world ... (and) for four years ... (producing) ... 30% ... (Total). The 4.7 million cubic meters extracted by firms in 1963, equal to what was YPF throughout the country in 1957 ...

{taking the figures given by the author, these findings emerge:
  • 1957 - Production of YPF - 4.7 million cubic meters.
  • 1963 - Oil production -15.6 million cubic meters. YPF net - 10.9 million cubic meters. Increase compared to 1957 total more than 300%. YPF net increase of more than 200%.
  • 1963 - Production three companies - 4.7 million cubic meters (30% of production 1963). The company's percentage is not indicated by the author.
  • It compares a company, YPF, against three foreign, different periods 1957-YPF - and 1963 - foreign - should be considered a year and disaggregated undertakings. In an egalitarian calculation could allot to each private company, separately, produced 10% of YPF which occurred six years earlier (1957 vs. 1963).
  • It indicates that private companies working on the 9% of the reserves located, but does not say what percentage of these stocks worked YPF.
  • Since foreign companies involved in oil activities in the country at an early stage the logical comparison should be given the previous performance of the private sector, ie the 4.7 million cubic meters of private production in 1963 should be connected to the private pre-production. So the comparison with YPF and at an earlier time does not seem the best option.
  • indicates that no company had been responsible for horizon scanning to determine the oil at that time, "private companies had access to such information free of charge if he had done YPF?}

... imported oil in 1976 cost U.S. $ 100-... cubic meter, while foreign companies ... whose contracts with the government of Frondizi were reestablished after the government annulled by Illia, deliver the product to YPF ... u $ s10-cubic meter ...

... In a top secret clearance, Messersmith said ... (on) ... (these talks) ... "Peron ... had come to the conclusion that it was necessary to give any kind of encouragement to foreign oil companies to spread here asked if their programs ... ... ... companies would be interested in a joint enterprise ... ...

... ... Perón reassured Ambassador Messersmith ... there was no hope that YPF would satisfy the country needs ... that its operations had been unsatisfactory for many years and that the best solution ...

ARGENTINA NEW 1946-1955 Volume II



ENERGY

In January 1946 had structured the National Energy Authority, comprising four agencies: the State Gas, Solid Fuels and Mineral, State Power Plants, Plants and Derived Fuels ... Added ... (YPF.) ...

The body was under the leadership of Colonel Bartolome Barefoot ... (in 1947), Power Plant would join the Irrigation Department to form a new company autarkic: Water Energy.

In place of the National organization was created National Energy Company. Distributions were maintained as above, but by changing the internal administrative structure without changing its autarky.
... ... Article 40 of the revised Constitution established the domain of the Nation on oil and other energy sources, but they were not expressly prohibited concessions, and secured the complete state monopoly of oil exploration.

Minister José C. Barro presented to Congress in 1949, an energy plan, whose objectives were to: self-sufficiency through the orderly use of all resources, replacement of perishable sources for which they are not, use of hydropower potential, production and rational intensive Liquid solid fuels; rationalization of consumption, state domination of the energy field.

In 1952 began channeling political indefinable ... by creating a national mining authorities (Decree No. 5598). Started operating in Rio Turbio coal mine. At that time, the British were importing coal for the railroads stone ... for you the war years, YPF. worried about the farm ... (of) ... ... oilfield discovered in 1887 (national surveys dating back to 1921) ... A special department was created in YPF. (1943) for ... ... (exploration) and its operation began in 1947 under the aegis of Solid Fuels and Minerals. Homes and factories were built, ... took machinery. Chile provided an outlet to the sea in Puerto Natales. But our government decided to build a way ... (railway) to Puerto Deseado.

not only decreased the import of coal ... to railways, but also for the production of gas, ... began using natural gas from oil wells that came from Comodoro Rivadavia ... (by) ... new pipeline. Manual work ... (in) ... these sites was replaced by machines ...

Prior to Peron, the Argentine government had taken over the facilities ... (of) ... the 'Primitive Gas Company' (05.03. 1945) that ... (did) ... to depend ... (of) Gas Service Federal Capital YPF dependent ... later became the National Directorate of Gas del Estado (January 1946) ... (is) ... ... proposed building a gas pipeline between Buenos Aires and Comodoro Rivadavia ... (planned) ... the work in six months ... (was built) in less than three years (21/02/1947 to 12/29/1949) ... (cost) ... u $ s 50 billion, and at that time was her pipeline longest in the world.
...
Among the works scheduled for the First Five Year Plan ... construction of the pipeline included the Dry Canyon-Buenos Aires ... that paralyzed imports of coal gas.

The Central Bank and U.S. oil interests

"According to ... Silenzi of Stagni, just assumed ... Perón established contacts with international oil ombudsmen. The negotiations do not ... (progressed) ... for foreign policy reasons and because of the lack of trust in government by ... the 'Standard Oil' ... spread the rumor that they planned to form a joint venture ... (YPF. - 'Standard Oil') ... (is) ... the Commission was ... Pro Monument to General Mosconi, whose main purpose was to defend the traditional oil policy Argentina ... "

{
would be good to clarify that the author meant by" traditional Argentina's oil policy "and that 1946 only had two records: the period 1916/1930 and the other precedes it and the case, both totally opposite ...}
... "(another) ... attempt had taken place ... (where) ... ... visit the Texas oilman Glen Mc Carty, who is intended to award all the extension of national territory. YPF's engineers. opposed his objections to this initiative. The government used to justify these projects on the grounds that ... (USA) ... (refused) to provide machinery and elements to YPF., the only solution was the delivery of our fields to foreign companies "

" According to the findings of Commission of Inquiry formed after the fall of Perón, ... chaired by Major Noailles, in mid-1949 ... Peron was in talks with oil companies ... (USA) ... "

{the author explores in a sale of $ s 100 million gold coinage, which certainly existed, it is debatable what is the assessment?. I am part of a generation of Argentines who grew up knowing of a man whose name was "the fugitive tyrant," meaning that our childhood, we live in contradiction. The Commission of Inquiry to mention the author head shot count suits and dresses and Perón and Evita pairs of shoes. Surely the sale of coins there, as no doubt also existed: the inconvertible pound and its economic / financial for our country. There was also no doubt Ambassador Braden, who was not an isolated man, but he held a dual representation: the 'Standard Oil' and policies taken by the Department of State - ie the U.S. - which has been storied including by Juan Carlos Escude. Also the author - Santos Martinez - use the Prebisch report on Argentina's economy in December 1955, but ignores the work of Jauretche: "The Plan Presbisch, Return to the colonial period, if only to refute it.

In my opinion for a better assessment would be more fair and just based on the terms of the contracts 'California'. Like Peron because he is considered (by some) the initiator of the "Third Position", compare the terms agreed with the 'California' in connection with the agreement of 1930 signed with Russia Yrigoyen (Yuyantorg) that the provision of fuel meant that the country needed to $ 0.11 cents. liter when the price of gasoline in the country, was $ 0.29, after the price war with foreign companies operating in the country.}

OIL POLICY (Peronist)

In 1946 Peron ... ... ... oil policy was not specific. The subject was not included in the First Five Year Plan proposed the nationalization ... No ... but a policy of joint ventures. Companies ... submitted proposals ... (even) ... demands and pressures for increased ... ... prices, limitation of tax reserves, predominantly in the import, etc. The government ... believed in the rapid replacement of oil ... atomic energy.

In December 1947, agreements were reported in 1937 ...
