ARGENTINE OIL, GAS PRODUCTION FALL IN FEBRUARY Argentina's total oil and gas production fell 9.4 pct in February to 2.78 mln cubic metres from January's total of 3.11 mln cubic metres, the state oil company Yacimientos Petroliferos Fiscales (YPF) reported. A YPF statement blamed the drop on momentary problems owing to the summer season but gave no further details. February's production figure fell slightly short of YPF's target figure of 2.90 mln cubic metres. Oil production totalled 1.76 mln cubic metres last month and natural gas production 1.02 mln cubic metres, down from 1.95 and 1.15 mln cubic metres in January, respectively.
