Background

The Neuba I Pipeline is one of three pipelines, along with the Neuba II Pipeline and the San Martin Pipeline, that comprise the Transportadora de Gas del Sur (Gas Transporter of the South) system in Argentina. Transportadora de Gas del Sur (TGS) was established on December 28, 1992 after the privatization of the Argentinian energy sector, it was part of Gas del Estado, a government regulated company divided later into Transportadora de Gas del Sur (TGS) and Transportadora de Gas del Norte (TGN).

The Neuba I Pipeline runs from Sierra Barrosa to Bahía Blanca. Originally built in 1970, it was expanded in 1996. One of Argentina's main supply lines, the pipeline transports gas from the central Neuquén basin across Rio Negro, La Pampa and Buenos Aires provinces, ending in the General Cherri Complex. The gas is later transported to the Greater Buenos Aires area.
