Bolivia ups natgas shipments to Argentina

LA PAZ, Jan 22 (Reuters)- Bolivia said on Thursday it has boosted exports of natural gas to Argentina to 6.5 million cubic meters a day from 1 million to 2 million cubic meters a day, which will help offset a drop in supply from Brazil.

Bolivia's Hydrocarbons Minister Saul Avalos told Reuters larger exports to Argentina are possible after a labor conflict at an Argentine refinery ended.
