According to data from the National Agency for Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP) of Brazil, Gas delivery at the Corumbá reception point, at the beginning of the Brazilian section of the Bolivia-Brazil Gas Pipeline, has already been reduced to around 15 MMm3/day in the May average, reported the EconoJournal portal.

YPFB, according to official data, must export between 14 and 20 million cubic meters per day (MMm3/d) to the Brazilian marketaccording to the eighth addendum signed in the transitional government.

On April 7, after months of negotiation, the presidents of Bolivia, Luis Arce, and Argentina, Alberto Fernández sealed an agreement in which YPFB undertook to sell IEASA to its Argentine counterpart, 14 MMm3/day of gas during the winter, a volume that can increase due to greater availability of the energy resource in Bolivia. Before that meeting, the president of IEASA, Agustín Gerez, even anticipated that YPFB deliveries would reach 16 MMm3/day.
