Argentina buys 7 LNG cargoes from Trafigura, Spain's Gas Natural

MILAN: Argentina's YPF has purchased seven liquefied natural gas (LNG) cargoes on behalf of state-run energy firm Enarsa following its recent tender, to be supplied by Trafigura and Spain's Gas Natural Fenosa, traders said.

Enarsa launched a tender in early May to buy seven LNG cargoes for delivery from June through August. Awarding the tender falls under YPF's remit.

Swiss trading house Trafigura will deliver six cargoes and Spanish utility Gas Natural Fenosa will deliver one, a Buenos Aires-based trader with knowledge of the matter said.

"For the time being YPF is looking at its demand for the current winter season, but they don't expect to launch any new tenders for now," he said.
