Only Subscribers can read the full Article

Argentina’s relationship with LNG has been nothing short of a rollercoaster ride these past few years. Having switched from importer to (briefly) exporter of the fuel, the South American country, now faced with a shortage of domestic supply, is about to resume LNG imports in order to avoid a gas shortfall in the coming southern hemisphere winter.
