ARGENTINA - 1936: 50 centavos red and orange postage stamp depicting Oil Well (Petroleum industry). Around 35 million cubic meters each of petroleum and petroleum fuels are produced, as well as 50 billion cubic meters of natural gas, making the nation self-sufficient in these staples, and generating around 10% of exports. The most important oil fields lie in Patagonia and Cuyo. A network of pipelines (next to Mexico's, the second-longest in Latin America) send raw product to Bahia Blanca, center of the petrochemical industry, and to the La Plata-Greater Buenos Aires-Rosario industrial belt
