The head of Argentina's natural gas regulator Enargas, Antonio Pronsato, denied that there is a shortage of LPG in the country and insisted that production levels are sufficient to satisfy national demand, state news agency Telam reported.Pronsato blamed any supply shortfalls on local distributers. He also rejected recent reports in the Argentine press that the country is planning to import LPG.
"Our country is a net exporter of LPG and does not import one ton at any time of the year," Telam quoted Pronsato as saying.
Record low temperatures across the Southern Cone have caused stress on regional gas supplies.
As well as reports of LPG shortages, industrial and residential customers across Argentina have complained of service disruptions on the national gas distribution network.
Press in neighboring Uruguay, meanwhile, reported that LPG supplies have returned to normal in Montevideo. The resumption of service followed strikes at a plant that caused supply problems.
