Downbeat for Argentina’s gas imports

The future of Argentina’s LNG and pipeline gas imports is anything but bright.

The government is adamant about stopping imports of LNG and pipeline gas to narrow its trade deficit. Meanwhile, domestically produced gas in Argentina is price-competitive, which is also hitting imports of the fuel.

Gas imports are not coming cheap for Argentina....
