Abstract
We analyze the options available for Bolivia with regard to the exploitation of its natural gas resource base. While much of the commercial focus to date has been on developing delivery infrastructure and marketing supply to Brazil and Argentina, other options are available. In particular, producing and selling electricity to its neighbors may be especially attractive since there are also vast untapped hydroelectric resources in Bolivia that could complement such use for its natural gas.
