Minerals in My Country

Petroleum is Argentina's most valued mineral resource. Oil fields that are found in Patagonia and the Piedmont, produce a fare amount of  the country's oil needs.  These fields also hold natural gas.  Petroleum also contributes to providing electric power.  (www.wikipedia.com)
A network of pipelines send new product to Bahia Blanca, center of the petrochemical industry, and to the La Planta-Buenos Aires-Rosario industrial belt. The exports of petroleum are about 10% of the exports. One of the most well known companies in argentina in charge of extracting petroleum is YPF(Yacimientos Petrolíferos Fiscales).  This company was founded in 1922. Argentina in many ways depends on their minerals that are found. Many minerals such as petroleum do bring in lots of money for he economy.
