Background

The Peru LNG pipeline transports fossil gas from a junction with TGP's Camisea pipeline in Chiquintirca, San Miguel de la Mar, Ayacucho, to the Peru LNG export terminal on Peru's Pacific coast.[4] The Peru LNG terminal began operations as South America's first LNG processing plant in June 2010.[5] Construction of the pipeline began in 2007 and was completed in 2010.[4] It is the world's highest gas pipeline, attaining an altitude of 4901 meters above sea level.[4]
