The work to build Stretches 2 and 3 of the Northern Gas Pipeline Reversal Project contemplates a joint execution period of six and a half months. This means that the pipeline should be operational by August 2024, joining the Center-West Gas Pipeline with the Northern Gas Pipeline, bringing gas from Vaca Muerta.

It is a comprehensive project that includes the full range of tasks needed to reverse the flow of gas. The final result will enable gas from Vaca Muerta to supply the needs of Argentines living in the north of the country, guaranteeing the provision of locally-produced energy for the region, its inhabitants and its industries.

Location

The pipeline connects the Center-West Gas Pipeline with the Northern Gas Pipeline in the province of Córdoba, Argentina, bringing gas from Vaca Muerta.
