in the country &#8211;&nbsp;<strong>Camuzzi, Naturgy and Metrogas<\/strong>&nbsp;&#8211; began at the weekend to&nbsp;<strong>cut the supply of gas to industrial clients<\/strong>&nbsp;that contract the fluid under the&nbsp;<strong>interruptible<\/strong>&nbsp;modality&nbsp;.&nbsp;In the region concessioned to Camuzzi Gas Pampeana,&nbsp;<strong>it was also necessary to cut the supply to some 130 CNG stations<\/strong>&nbsp;due to a lack of gas in the system.&nbsp;Industries with firm transportation were ordered to cut off all gas that is not contracted in that condition.&nbsp;A distributor explored the possibility of&nbsp;<strong>convening an emergency committee with Enargas and the Ministry of Energy<\/strong>, although that option finally did not materialize.&nbsp;It is the first time in at least three years that it is necessary to cut the supply of CNG.&nbsp;This was confirmed to&nbsp;<strong><em>EconoJournal by<\/em><\/strong>&nbsp;private and government sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c&nbsp;<em>Of 260 CNG service stations (in the Camuzzi Gas Pampeana region),&nbsp;<strong>half were cut off with zero consumption<\/strong>&nbsp;.&nbsp;The other half can sell up to the firm hired.&nbsp;Then, they have to restrict the commercialization \u201d,<\/em>&nbsp;explained a technician of the system that follows closely the context.&nbsp;<strong>Metrogas, Naturgy and Litoral Gas were also forced to restrict the supply of gas to interruptible contracts<\/strong>&nbsp;with industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several marketers, for their part, ordered their clients to take only 70% of the gas contracted due to the weakness of the supply of the fluid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Multi-causal<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although it is not yet critical as in 2010 or 2012,&nbsp;<strong>the health of the gas system is much more complex than what<\/strong>&nbsp;government technicians&nbsp;<strong>had projected<\/strong>&nbsp;three months ago.&nbsp;In addition to the lower gas production in the system as a result of the conflict with health autoconvocados that&nbsp;<strong>paralyzed the drilling of new gas wells during almost all of April<\/strong>&nbsp;in Neuqu\u00e9n, this week was added&nbsp;<a

weekend.&nbsp;<strong>It will only start to unload tomorrow (Tuesday) first thing in the morning<\/strong><\/em>&nbsp;\u201d, explained the manager of an oil company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The outlook for June is not the best.&nbsp;The regasification ship of Bah\u00eda Blanca must enter on Wednesday, May 26, but for that day the shipping unions called for a new stoppage of activities for 48 hours in all the country&#8217;s ports to demand 6000 vaccines.&nbsp;They believe that shipping and shipping should be considered essential, just as the government did with international freight truckers.&nbsp;For this reason,&nbsp;<strong>some believe that the Exemplar de Excelerate will finally end up mooring at the MEGA dock only on May
