The 2008 BP Statistical Energy Survey has also reported that Argentina consumed an average of 491.73 thousand barrels a day of oil in 2007, 0.59% of the world total, and consumed 44.1 billion cubic metres of natural gas, 1.5% of the world total. For the same period, Argentina had natural gas production of 44.8 billion cubic metres, 1.51% of the world total, while producing an average of 698.1 thousand barrels of crude oil per day, 0.89% of the world total. Argentina’s refinery capacity in 2007 was 624 thousand barrels a day. Argentina experienced an energy crisis in 2004. State-imposed caps kept energy prices low, which drove a dramatic increase in energy demand that outstripped supply. The government broke a natural gas export contract to Chile, began importing natural gas from Bolivia, and initiated energy rationing. The crisis threatened to stifle Argentina’s economic recovery form the 2002 financial crisis and severely strained the country’s relations with Chile. In 1999, the Spanish oil company Repsol merged with Argentina’s Yacimientos Petroliferos Fiscales (YPF), the formerly state-owned oil company. Repsol-YPF dominates oil exploration and production activities in Argentina. Other significant, oil-producing companies in Argentina include Petrobras, Pan American Energy and Chevron. In October 2004, the Argentine government formed a new, state-owned oil company, Enarsa, to promote oil exploration in the country.
