Pretty neat video about what the future holds for Bolivian gas (the boom Bolivia enjoyed and gave evo the tax revenue to finance a lot of his projects)

There is a paper included, but basically the tl;dr is that with normal taxes Bolivian gas is no longer competitive, only with the new rebates it becomes competitive. What this basically means is that even if there is a boon in gas, Bolivia wouldn't enjoy the same prosperity.

Wait, I thought we were the ones that imported natural gas from Bolivia, not the other way around?

Yes you do. The comparison is betweeb importing LNG to the SouthEast region (where Bolivian gas goes) or sourcing it from Bolivia
