YPFB reports record LPG demand - Argentina, Bolivia

Bolivia's state hydrocarbons company YPFB is dispatching record levels of up to 123,000 canisters a day of LPG in response to the current spell of lower than average temperatures affecting the country.
Around 77% of the deliveries are going to the urban centers of La Paz, Cochabamba and Santa Cruz, YPFB said in a statement.
On average 38,000-40,000 canisters a day are being dispatched to Santa Cruz alone, according to the firm, with demand up 16% on the same period last year. Demand is also up in the western mountainous regions of Potosi and Oruro.
The firm guaranteed that LPG supplies are sufficient across the country to cope with recent demand increases. Diesel and gasoline supplies will also not be affected, YPFB's commercial director Guillermo Acha said in the statement.
