The joint venture formed by Techint E&C and SACDE completed construction work on module two of the new pipeline, a 254-kilometer stretch built with two pipe diameters: 199 km of 24” pipe and 55 km of 30” pipe.

Work to lay the pipeline required multiple road, railway, and waterway crossings, as well as horizontal drilling under the 850-meter-wide Colorado River. To support execution, three dedicated work sites were set up along the right-of-way, in Médanos, Río Colorado, and Bahía Blanca.

 

Doubling energy output

This project marks a permanent expansion of Oldelval’s transport capacity, ensuring it can keep pace with the rapid growth in production from the Neuquén Basin as well as from across Argentina.

Location

Stretching across the heart of south-central Argentina, the pipeline runs through the provinces of Río Negro, La Pampa, and Buenos Aires.
