The works will have a term of 120 consecutive days and in addition to the basic engineering they include the cadastral survey and the preparation of the planimetry of the gas pipeline. The trace of the second stage will extend from Salliqueló, in the province of Buenos Aires, to San Jerónimo, in Santa Fe.
With this stage, the capacity of the national trunk gas pipeline transportation system
can be expanded by 25 percent. With this stage, the capacity of the national trunk gas pipeline transportation system can be expanded by 25 percent.
The company Energía Argentina made this Monday the call for Public Tender for the elaboration of the extended basic engineering of the second stage of the President Néstor Kirchner Gas Pipeline, whose route will extend from Salliqueló, in the province of Buenos Aires, to San Jerónimo, in Santa Faith.

With the second stage, whose basic engineering is being tendered, it will be possible to expand the capacity of the national trunk gas pipeline transport system by 25 percent, adding value to the Vaca Muerta reserves.
The gas pipeline in its first stage, already tendered, will increase the transport capacity by 24 million cubic meters (m3) of gas per day to replace the import of fuels and will extend along 558 kilometers with an estimated investment of US$ 1,500. millions. |
