About tgs
tgs is Argentina’s leading natural gas transportation company. Through more than 9,250 kilometers of gas pipelines spanning seven provinces, the company transports natural gas from southern and western production basins to major urban consumption centers.
Over its 33-year history, tgs has consolidated its leadership across five business lines:
- Natural gas transportation
- Processing and marketing of natural gas liquids
- Midstream services in Vaca Muerta
- Telecommunications
- Services
With more than 35 facilities located in seven provinces and a workforce of over 1,100 employees, tgs operates the Cerri Complex and the Galván Plant in Bahía Blanca, where liquids derived from natural gas are processed.
In October 2025, tgs was awarded the expansion of the Perito Moreno Gas Pipeline, a project that will increase transportation capacity by 14 million cubic meters per day from Tratayén to Salliqueló. With an investment exceeding USD 560 million, this project will help replace energy imports and boost the development of Vaca Muerta, reinforcing tgs’s strategic role in the country’s energy supply.
In addition, the company is advancing the NGLs Project, a strategic initiative aimed at monetizing hydrocarbon-rich gas from Vaca Muerta through the separation, transportation, and fractionation of natural gas liquids (propane, butane, ethane, and natural gasoline). This project involves a total investment of more than USD 2.5 billion, including conditioning facilities in Tratayén, a pipeline of over 500 kilometers, and a fractionation plant in Bahía Blanca, positioning tgs as a regional leader in the industrialization and export of NGLs.
