Press Release21/07/2008 00:00
The process was co-ordinated, managed and supervised by Repsol-Stream. Technical assistance was provided by Excelerate Energy LLC.
Repsol unit YPF, working for Argentina's (state-owned) Enarsa, hired the regasification vessel that operates out of the Bahia Blanca port in Argentina.
A docked ship regasified and transferred natural gas to the network after receiving the LNG from a tanker.
The process can be used to supply up to 8 million cubic metres of extra gas to the Argentinean market either as a temporary back up or a permanent point of entry for LNG.
