TGS to build Vaca Muerta infrastructure
Argentina The pipeline is expected to span 97 kilometres through several key blocks in the play, with a capacity to transport 36.8 mcm (1.3 bcf) of gas per day. The plant will have an initial capacity to process up to 5.01 mcm (177 mcf) of gas per day, expandable up to 56.6 mcm (2 bcf) per day.
TGS added that USD 250 million of the total planned investment would go towards work in the 2018-2019 period.
