Energía Argentina S.A. invites national and international companies to participate in this national and international public tender for the execution of the first private initiative project on the national natural gas transportation system.
This project consists of expanding the transportation capacity of the Perito Moreno Gas Pipeline (GPM), which currently transports up to 26 million cubic meters of gas per day from Vaca Muerta (Neuquén) to the province of Buenos Aires.
The planned works consist of incorporating new additional compressor plants at certain points along the pipeline route and upgrading the current facilities. This will allow for the addition of 14 million cubic meters per day and for the Perito Moreno gas pipeline to reach its maximum operational transport capacity of up to 40 million cubic meters per day.
Energía Argentina will formalize a 15-year contract with the successful bidder—who will be responsible for the operation and maintenance of the GPM. Once this period is over, the new facilities will revert to the national government.
This initiative, declared of public interest by the national government, will accelerate the appreciation of assets in Vaca Muerta, generate tax savings, and benefit the national trade balance.
